I know all the goldies by name! The oldest Goldie is 26 years old! All of these fish are scattered amongst (3) 250 gallon tanks, (6) 75 gallon tanks, (4) 55 gallon tanks, (5) five gallon tanks, and a 1,000 gallon pond. I rarely get to just sit and watch my fish, but I do find maintaining the fish relaxing.

Answer 2

I have 6 tanks, my biggest a 250 gal, my smallest a 29 gal. I keep all three types of tanks from tropical and marine to brackish. I use to have nearly 20 tanks, most being 10 gal. It's been a great hobby for me as well as relaxing in the 35 yr now that I have kept fish. My Albino Oscars turned 7 yrs old this year. They become part of the family. Very Relaxing

Answer 3

I have seven aquariums. It is down from eight. One is a toad vivarium, one is a saltwater and the rest are freshwater. I think we have too many now that we have a house, but I love them. Very relaxing and a good conversation starter.

30 Gallon ~ Firefish, Clown, Watchman, Sand sifting starfish, Live rock and lots of little critters.

55 Gallon ~ Pearl Gouramis, Neons, Swordtails, Black Phanteom Tetras, Ottos, Albino Cories, Red Tailed Shark

29 Gallon ~ Red Zebra, Blue Zebra, and some Yellow labs, with a pleco

10 Gallon ~ Betta, Clown Pleco and five Rasboras...oh and one very old black skirt tetra

5 Gallon ~ Betta and Neons

5 Gallon ~ Betta, two dwarf platies, and one otto (poor guy)

29 Gallon ~ Five fire bellied toads and plants
