POLL - How many tanks do you have running?
- Thread starter DMD123
- Start date
I like the “about 14”.... that always means more! lolOnce the fish room is done, im looking at about 14, I currently have 3,
Any particular fish you are going to focus on? Cichlids of course....
No most likely that'll be it.
Obviously my Amphs, but also Festae, Gypherum, Tuba, Argentea, Breidohri, Bifasciatus, maybe Beani, Plecos and in their tank some nice SA schooling fish, Bichirs, loaches.
I currently have 10 running with four sitting empty. But I plan to buy one of those all in one nano tanks for my work office.... I really like the aquarium paradise gets these tiny little mud skipper looking fish, and I’ve always liked the celestial danios ( it just that my tanks have always been far too large to even see them). Heck I may even venture out and try some of those orange colored shrimp. Haha
And I’m hoping to purchase dmds 75 once he upgrades to his 90.... I want to use it for my one and only community tank for my living room. I plan to have my father in-law make me a custom stand with real nice siding. It will probably be painted gray as that’s an accent theme in our remodeled downstairs

I’m running 10 right now. I broke down 3 and gave away 2.
Getting close to the tank swap out, going from 75 to 90 gallon, so same footprint. Got the top cut for the filter and heater cord, background installed.
Will use same Beamswork LED light and AC110 filter. Will use the Eheim heater to set it up but am looking at a different heater to try, an Aqua Master.

Got the 90 set up today. Excuse the mess! This was during the process.
You can see the difference with the 90 on the upper left compared to the 75 on the right
The 90 does look better with the 65b below. Looks more is scale
Was thinking about swapping out the other 75 to a 90 also but man is it tall! I need to spend a bit more time with this before I decide to do that. Got to see what day in and day out stuff is like. Did I mention it was tall? lol

I agree: it does look better. Now you need to get a really tall tank for in between them...
P.S.- You need a bigger ladder...
Yeah, well, the crazy thing is that nearly half of that volume is in a single tank!
Don't mind me; I'm jealous.
True but the other 340 gallons in the 5 tanks are easier to maintain. So much better with the utility sink in same room. With the 300 I have to use the bathroom faucet, very slow fill up!Yeah, well, the crazy thing is that nearly half of that volume is in a single tank!
Latest update: I decided to change my rack a bit and got rid of storage space for another tank, lol. So I am now at 7. Current count is a 300, two 90’s, two 65B, one 46 bowfront, one 30. Total gallons now at 686.
I just added the 30 back into the mix. Dropped the shelf and put it at the bottom. Not a whole lot of money to get it up and running so it was worth it.

Welcome to the box. I thought your avatar looked familiar.
You want a nice female for that nice male

He is a lady killer. Spawned with 2 females from my initial group of six.
He killed the first one due to the eggs molding over and going bad.
He was just a we little 3in fellow here
Next one he paired with Goldie Hawn. Went on and had five batches of fry.
First batch ate the second, for some reason she laid it not 3 weeks after the first. Third batch was consumed by mom. Some of 4th and 5th batch plus about 10 of the first batch were sold to The Wet Spot.
Some months later I ordered 3 more ladies from COTA.
He outright rejected 2 of them. Started to seem like he would bound with this one
But alas woke up from a nap one day and he broke thru the divider somehow and sadly killed her.
Lastly his fry at The Wet Spot
While I appreciate the offer I have come to terns with him being a solo fish at this point.
If I was to do this would have to wait till if and when we get this stimulus check. Been thinking of getting another tank anyway. I don't drive so would have to ship? Or if you live close I could pay your gas to drop her off. I don't have a spare tank that could hospital her into my tanks atm, only spare tank is a 20long
@Sean Talkington no worries, i have 2 females and need to rehome both. Iam a huge Amph fan hence my thread on here, but the sagittae just doesn't do it for me. If you ever decide you want to expand your big cichlid thirst, i am here, and i will constantly be bringing in fish and breeding them.
