What type of fish do you keep?

[Ewok]

I re set up my aquarium since moving a few weeks ago and am making it a planted aquarium. Right now I have three dwarf cory cats, and two bolivian rams in a 15 gal and will probably get three more dwarf cories, and a few tetras .

I really like rift lake cichlids, but most of the species I see at the fish stores around me get too big for my tank, although saw some shell dwellers I might get and put in another smaller tank.

75gal saltwater reef
2 Black Percula Clownfish
Assorted Damsels
3 N. wennerae mantis shrimp
Multiple BTA Anemones
Assorted LTAs
Misc. corals (LPS and SPS) and other inverts.


I also kept a 10gal planted freshwater tank in college with Orandas, Telescopes, and Plecos.

A tetra tank with a couple of dwarf gouramis and a african dwarf frog. I have glo-lites and neons which school together and the contrast look pretty cool and serpae tetra.

 

[Barbedwirecat]

16 gallon nanocube
1 evil striped damsel
1 big snail (I have no idea)
1 turbosnails
some live rock/sand

29 gallon
1 african clawed frog
2 pure white fantails
some danios that a the frog eats and then gives the adult time to reproduce and eats again

1 45 ga indoor pond
2 random feeder goldfish.

fish have been my thing for years, just recently got into the invert hobby, but still have a pretty big fish collection going (wouldnt ever sell off my old guys )..i have sold off a good half of my fish in the last year though

i keep mostly central american cichlids, theyre the best as far as personality goes, and many are some of th emost colorful fresh water fish you'll ever see

heres what i have:
50g
4-5" m/f pair of F1 h."turquoise"
4" clown loaches...6x
125g
11"/6" pair of gold p.motaguense
85g
11"/6" pair of barred midas cichlids
50g
7" F1 female a.festae
55g
9"/4" pair of a.trimaculatus
55g
6"/4" pair of n.grammodes
6" a.nourrisati
600g...at one time i had a good number of large 'tankbusters', but ive been selling them and getting ready to put this tank away for a while...
i still have a 27" silver arowana, and a 27" p.niger catfish along with tons of other random central american cichlids.

besides those tanks i have a 360g, 165g and a few 55gs sitting empty, all, along with the 600g are going to be wrapped up in blankets and tarps and put away for a while, just cant afford to set them up right now.

Well, this is actually the first time in years I don't have a tank at home, but I work in an aquatics shop, so still plenty of piscine creatures in my life

My absolute favourites have to be the two black seahorses (hippocampus fuscus) I'm currently looking after. They are so amazingly graceful and enchanting. And they've developed the rather endearing habit of begging for food at the front of the glass when I walk in in the mornings....:worship:

Cheers,
Sam

I have a heavily planted 10gal tank with:

4 female bettas (1 plain wild colored, 1 yellow, 1 red/blue grizzle, & 1 grizzle)
2 male flagfish
1 oto

Hope to budget so I can get a 20gal L to transfer to so I can have more room for aquascaping.

2 2.5gals:
1 DT male betta
1 VET male betta

Would like to then turn my 10gal into a dwarf puffer tank.

Your going to need an indoor pond for your sturgeon....

That page says 250 gallons minimum is reccomended for Scaphirhynchus platorynchus and in an earlier post you said you had a 75 gallon tank. Will you have another tank (250g+) for your sturgeon once you get it? Not trying to play parent, but just making sure you were aware of their space requirements.

 

[Scorpendra]

aww, shucks. i had a betta bowl all set up for it....

 

[Amanda]

Ah, tank police... They make me feel at home. I LOVE tank police!

I'm serious, actually. I tend to be one of them. I'm a native of the fish boards around the net, and that gave me warm fuzzy feelings all of a sudden.

 

[Alissa]

I'm most partial to my pygmy sparkling gouramis and chocolate gouramis.

I also love my bristlenose pleco, lyretail killifish (who has killed 2 girlfriends), pygmy cories, and all the various shrimp.

I have no aquatic animals, but having a pet octopus would be badass!
