How many of you sneak things home?

My wife thinks show size Queen angels and such cost around 40$.

My wife was away for the weekend last month and I upgraded from a 72 bowfront to a 135. Couldn't really hide it. I will be making it up to her for the next year i'm sure.

Trained might be a bad word, lets just say we have an understanding. LOL!

Hi,

I have a budget for my hobby, as long as the item(s) are within my budget all is well.

I don't get upset when my spouse spends money on things that I feel is 'uhh'

My rule is, if I can't pay cash for it then I cannot afford it

umm... well i would say i do all of the above, good to know that im not the only one haha... hes gone for 3 weeks then i leave and already theres pulsing xenia, toad stool, frogspawn and im sure more by the time he gets back... The purple mushrooms grow into toad stools right? thats believable?


oh he also didnt notice that i put 2 blue chromis in the tank he thought they came with the rock, like the emerald crab we found... I love him but hes so dumb some times

Yes I do sneak things into the house.
Other spouses sneak shoes and purses, I just do corals and fish. Don't know why I still do that, maybe it's due to the amount of SPSs that I regularly killed before I can get them to grow...Now it's just a habit.

Takes him months to actually notice something new, unless it's a fish, then it's hard to hide that fact.

I don't really have to. She knows the aquarium is expensive to run and start, but she loves it. It sometimes takes a little bit of convincing to buy a $300 goldflake angel though. But in the end, everybody is usually happy.

We can't hide anything from each other...we are both into this as much as the other is!!! We have both become 'addicted' to this hobby, so, it let's us do something that we both enjoy...together. And we usually go to the LFS' together to check out what is new. Or for me, sometimes, just to socialize while Jim is looking at something.

If you can't be honest with your spouse/partner thats too bad.

My wife does not like what or when I buy stuff... but I would rather her be mad at me for a day than feel like I am always lying to her.

Better to be trust worthy 100% than give her a reason to think I lie about other things too.

Just my 2 cents.
