Love this video man. Its hilariously funny. My kids are like yours, Love it for 5 minutes. But my wife knows this so tip number one ends up with " free up one of your tanks for the kids, you don't need all those tanks". And the cut in half unfortunately does not work either as she was a fishkeeper before me and knows the exact price for everything, i tell her i bought a filter, 5 seconds after she knows the price with a quick google it. The valentines,Xmas and birthday does not work either,her rule no fishkeeping stuff on those days. But most of the times she encourages me to buy new stuff. I only have too tanks now,so its not hard to keep her happy.
Dude...you killed it. I hope my wife doesn't see this video...lol. Any advice for guys that have grown children that have moved away? Don't tell me to adopt...my wife still drops hints about that...LMBO. Good video!!!
Cut it in half method ? Lol that won't work with my mom ! Parents are worse than spouses. 20 dollar fish would still piss my mom off so 40 dollar fish, I would have to use the "Cut it in quarters"
HahA! I've been married 3 years and the wife was barely ok with even 1 tank when we got married. Sweet talked her and now we have 7 tanks. She says 7 is the limit, but with Christmas coming up, I'm already making plans for number 8. Thanks for the tips, dude.
I love when you look at the lighter side of fish keeping! Though I am spoiled... my gf wants me to get larger tanks because she sees too many fish she likes at aquarium stores.
Again, excellent as always. I wish you would do a Video on Water Changes. I have a 20 & a 30 Gallon Tank. I do a 50% Water Change once a week. I read the smaller Tanks need more Water Changes than say a 75 Gallon Tank.
My daughter just got a 10 gallon for her 4th birthday and I'm pretty sure that I used your exact line on my wife. I sincerely hope she keeps her excitment for fish... but worst case scenario... I have another 10 gallon.
I'm a woman and I love fish. I have 4 tanks and counting...it is my plan to fill my lounge with tanks..every where you look there would be a tank....thankfully my friends and family all know that I have a somewhat obsessive personality..I think they were all waiting for this one to pass.. like they normally do...however its only got worse...I told my friends that soon they will be coming to my house to watch tanks and not tv..they just rolled their eyes......apparently Iv'e gone fish mad...so theyr'e all saying..
My wife and I have a good deal going: she said for what I spend on fish tank stuff I have to match it and put an equal amount in the savings. I now have lots of money in my savings and money to spend!
The 1/2 principle: "Honey if I agree to that house with the 40,000 gallon swimming pool you liked, I get the entire basement for aquariums" Oh yeah, 20,000 gallons of fish. Now that's MTS syndrome. Great video Rick, made me laugh out loud.
Ha! This is exactly why they call you THE Rick, because you are THE man! Part 3 of this series is the best yet. And yes, the "having kids" method worked like a charm for me, especially considering I was able to pick up two practically new tanks for my kids for free off of Craig's List. The wife can't argue with free! Now that my daughter is hooked on fish I have an accomplice is convincing my wife that Daddy needs more tanks. (All part of my master plan.) This video rocks! Still laughing over it.
So true! I have two do the 1/3 price method and all new fish were picked out by the kids hehehe. Just got some bleeding heart tetras yes they are really sweet!
I compromised. I told my wife I'll get rid of my two 55s and two 20s if I could get a 125. So now I have a 125 which I like better cause I can focus all my attention on just one tank. But she doesn't my addiction at all.
Great tips Rick. Speaking as a woman though I have to add the following for the men out there ; 1. We know when you're lying. Looking us straight in the eye is a dead give away. You may think you're getting better at lying as time goes on but really we just give up trying to make you decent human beings :-) 2. We plan and organise a lot more than a week ahead generally so best to start the hints about birthday presents at least 6 months in advance, certainly in the early years of a marriage. Hope this helps!
Got my little brother a 10 gallon he loved it for about 14 minutes then he completely ignores it I wish I would have known this was going to happen or else I would have tried to influence the fish he got for it now I do everything on it water changes filter Maintenence and he ignores the tank so much I have to set up a feeding schedule for him it's basically my tank in his room
Cut it into half method is what i do always...in the beginning when i got the setup i did this and she believed but i forgot to throw away the stupid receipt and got caught...and everyone knows what would have happened next.
I can vouch for #1. When my wife and I met.. zero kids, zero tanks. Now, 3 sons.. fish room! Come one Rick... you needs boys!!! Bundle of joy??? I'd like to see you rock some arowana. ;)
with all the cute girls you have been interviewing, I suspect your wife wants to keep you focusing on the fish, and allowing you to buy whatever you want!
have you tried 'babe the Plec is getting too big its realy creul for him to be in such a small tank we need to get him a bigger tank" ....so you get a bigger tank and reuse the small one up +1
+onlinealiasuk HAHAHA...I just did this to my husband. Bought a 75 gallon for 2 gold fish that were getting too big. Kept my 36 in order to cycle the new tank which meant I had to buy a new filter for the 75. Bought tropical fish for the 36 immediately after moving the gold fish. Now I have to think of something when I want that 3rd tank!!!
When one of your fish die,unfortunately happens, mop around for w couple days and keep bringing how special the fish was and how long it took to grow it,etc... Bang few days later ...$50,$100,200 gift certificate for my LFS. Deep inside she likes fish also😜
I can't do the lieing method but alls i have to do is talk about potential money making and she all up for that... i just got 34 fish for $300 dollars and she almost beat me but then i told her all i have to do is sell 3 breeding colonies and i got my money back... ( but $200 for the tank and more for the food + heaters and filters + utilities + + + )it all adds up but .. start talking $$ flowing in and she starts thinking on how she can spend that...
Why not be a man and do what the hell you want, and don't let your wife tell you what you can and can't do in your own damn house. If you have a job and earn money you can spend it any way you please.
Who would have thought that RUclips and The Rick, could teach so many Life Skills?
Invaluable!!!
Love this video man.
Its hilariously funny.
My kids are like yours, Love it for 5 minutes.

Brilliant Rick ! :) and massive congratulations on the 10,000 subs too ! Incredible :)
Haha! Rick, I hope you are on ground level or in a reinforced high rise... Ha. Pretty funny man. Thanks for the tips.
This video made me smile! MTS is an addiction and can only be helped by getting more or bigger fish aquariums!
BEST.VIDEO.EVER thanks for making my day you are basically the only person on RUclips that can make me laugh about this hobby thanks
Nate Bulger Thank you for watching :)
Dude...you killed it. I hope my wife doesn't see this video...lol. Any advice for guys that have grown children that have moved away? Don't tell me to adopt...my wife still drops hints about that...LMBO. Good video!!!
Definitely remembering the "cut it in half". Fired Up!!!
No bueno when your girl is in accounting business. Weekly audits can mess up your plans..
Cut it in half method ? Lol that won't work with my mom ! Parents are worse than spouses. 20 dollar fish would still piss my mom off so 40 dollar fish, I would have to use the "Cut it in quarters"
I love this series, it's so freaking funny!
Hahahah love it Rick!!!
I loved it!
My wife's face was a picture as she listened in :)
HahA! I've been married 3 years and the wife was barely ok with even 1 tank when we got married. Sweet talked her and now we have 7 tanks. She says 7 is the limit, but with Christmas coming up, I'm already making plans for number 8. Thanks for the tips, dude.
you could also say that you rescued a tank from a friend who couldn't take care of them properly, after all your such a nice guy
I love when you look at the lighter side of fish keeping! Though I am spoiled... my gf wants me to get larger tanks because she sees too many fish she likes at aquarium stores.

Again, excellent as always. I wish you would do a Video on Water Changes. I have a 20 & a 30 Gallon Tank. I do a 50% Water Change once a week. I read the smaller Tanks need more Water Changes than say a 75 Gallon Tank.
Thanks for this tips man! Really helps!
LOL...this makes it even funnier when you are saying it with a straight face...!!...gd video!
Oh man one of your best videos yet. Lmao. I'm a grown ass man I don't need clothes I need zoanthids! I'm using that one. Hahaha.
My daughter just got a 10 gallon for her 4th birthday and I'm pretty sure that I used your exact line on my wife. I sincerely hope she keeps her excitment for fish... but worst case scenario... I have another 10 gallon.

MELODY MUNRO so true. "Hunny you dont need more than one tank. First try to keep this one alive for a year"
My wife and I have a good deal going: she said for what I spend on fish tank stuff I have to match it and put an equal amount in the savings. I now have lots of money in my savings and money to spend!
Hilarious, man! What tips do you have for when the spouse's argument is lack of space?
The 1/2 principle: "Honey if I agree to that house with the 40,000 gallon swimming pool you liked, I get the entire basement for aquariums" Oh yeah, 20,000 gallons of fish. Now that's MTS syndrome. Great video Rick, made me laugh out loud.
Smooth Talker!!! 😂😂😂😂
This is awesome. 6 dislikes? Those 6 must have gotten divorced or something. Love this.
justinstuart53 Thank you :)

Awesome, great pointers here. Does your wife watch your channel?
***** not at all bro so i'm pretty safe lol
Hahaha!!! Great tips, appreciate the help with my MTS.
Great tips Rick. Speaking as a woman though I have to add the following for the men out there ;

I do like the "we should get the Kids a fish tank" ... imma try that one!

Great tips!
Haha, nice. U should write a book! Maybe become a best selling author, or be a marriage consultant☺
Boosya KnowHows lol....maybe I should
How do you get your parents to let you to get more tanks?
If I did all or part of that; the only fish tank I would be having is over my head lmao; keep up the good video
Ron Griese Thanks man
LOL good one glad my wife likes them also
Lol. Remove the blue gravel and make it a planted tank. Everything is all to true.
hey rick . my wife said that i can have 40 or 50 fish tanks .. and i dont need no kids to have them . i am a lucky man rick.
You are lucky lol
Hey Rick, any advise on how to keep your best tank during a divorce?
Hahahahha! Rick you sly geezer!
Haha nicely done.

Hey Rick what should I do if I want to buy a bigger fish tank but my parents won't let me...
Cut it into half method is what i do always...in the beginning when i got the setup i did this and she believed but i forgot to throw away the stupid receipt and got caught...and everyone knows what would have happened next.

to bad you have to lie to your wife, my wife likes pets and fish already.
Why not be a man and do what the hell you want, and don't let your wife tell you what you can and can't do in your own damn house. If you have a job and earn money you can spend it any way you please.
