Three tanks up and running at the moment.
55-gallon tank with 2 silver dollar tetras, 4 cory cats, 7 neon tetras, 3 zebra danios, 5 fancy-tailed guppies, 3 African dwarf frogs, 1 male betta, and 1 ghost shrimp (all the others were either eaten or committed suicide).
20-gallon tank with a rescued-from-Walmart male betta, currently recovering from ich and fin rot (I can't stand the way Walmart treats their fish...)
10-gallon breeder/quarantine, currently holding a rescued-from-Walmart male guppy. Doesn't appear to be anything wrong with him other than the fact that he's a spazzy little bugger.
3 empty tanks (35-hex, 35-long, 55-gallon) all waiting for when we move out to a house instead of this closet of any apartment. The 35-hex will be used for angels, the 55-gallon will be used to cichlids, and we're not quite sure what we're going to use the 35-long for.
How 'bout your fish? What tanks do you have? What kinda fish do you have?

Can I tell you a fish story!
I have four sevrums, and two of them decided to spawn. The other two were made persona non grata and had to hide either at the top of the tank or behind the heater.
Eggs were laid and both parents hovered over them, lovingly fanned them with their fins to keep good water circulation going at all times. When the eggs hatched, mama fish decided to banish dad, so he was now hanging at the top with the other two.
I've read that cichlids will end up eating their fry once the fry get to a certain size. So I decided to take about 2/3 of the fry and put them in a "baby trap" in an aquarium full of guppies. Mama fish carefully guarded her little band of babies, and I carefully nurtured the babies in the baby trap.
But each day the number of babies in the trap diminished. By the forth day all the babies I "saved" were nowhere to be found. A couple days later mama decided its time to eat her babies and she did.
I have no idea what happened to the babies in the guppy tank. There's a chance they squeezed through the bars in the trap, or if their tails dangled through to the other side, a guppy could have yanked the baby through and eat it.

Well I don't have a tank cause fishes really ain't my kind of pet. the kinds of pets I like are the ones that you can hold and talk to them and love like guinea pigs. But I do have one fish in a fish bowl it's a Betta fish had him about 3 weeks now and I like him too.

I had to get rid of them. After the wife died, that fish tank smell just made me too sad.

SARATOGA - great fish - loves goldfish (for dinner) co exists with african cichlids, and SURPRISINGLY, a 25 cm black ghost knife fish. The plecostamous and bristlenose make it a nice tidy 8ft tank.
What about yours?

It's very exciting...the angel is big, the plecostamus is big, the other fish are much smaller. Fascinating, simply fascinating.
