I've noted that the Fish Keeping portion of the forum is relatively quiet compared to the rest of this place. That needs to change! =P

How about a discussion?

What set-ups are you currently running? Stock? Plants?
Feel free to share pics.

My aquariums --

10 gallon (~38 litres) Lake Tanganyika shell-dwellers
Stock: 5x Neolamprologus multifasciatus (1m, 4f)
Substrate: Aragonite sand
Plants: Anubias nana & java moss
Foods: Baby brine shrimp, crushed tropical flakes, brine shrimp flakes, cichlid pellets, bloodworms
WC Schedule: 2x weekly, ~15%

5.5 gallon (~21 litres) Anabantids
Stock: 1x Betta splendens (f), 1x Trichopsis pumila (m)
Foods: Hikari BioGold betta pellets, tropical flakes, brine shrimp flakes
WC Schedule: 1x weekly, ~25%

2.5 gallon (~9 litres) Betta
Stock: 1x Betta splendens (m)
Foods: Hikari BioGold betta pellets, brine shrimp flakes
WC Schedule: 1x weekly, 100%

The collection is simple and small due to college. Moving tanks back-and-forth twice a year is no fun.

My tank is just over 2foot.
It has 2 platy and one bulldog plec.
I did have some guppy but they died (overstocking in lfs we think).
I am soon to be upgrading to a 30 gallon.

I will be back! i need to fight the BIG "C" atm!

1. 65 litre. Endlers. Sukari Super Red Shrimp, Blue Pearl Shrimp.
Substrate: river gravel
Plants: Crypt Myo, Crypt Wendtii, Bacopa

2. 180 litre. Breeding Pair Festivums
Substrate: Eco Complete
Plants: Hygro Siamesa 53B, E. Bleheri, Crypt Wendtii

3. 300 litre. Breeding Pair Discus
Substrate: Sand with laterite under
Plants: Hygro Siamesa 53B, E. Bleheri, E. Osiris, E. Tennelus. Tiger Lily, Anubias Barteri var Nana

All tanks get at least a 60-70% WC per week, water in filtered via 3 pod HMA

We currently have a 200lt Discus tank, and a marine Nano which has corals and a few hermits in - no fish at the moment after the death of our little Clown fish. A nano is not easy to keep stable so we will be upgrading to a 4ft tank next year and transfer over our live rock and corals.

Currently in construction is a fish house which will house about 27 tanks including some nice big 4footers for the discus. we are planning to breed them and also stock some more bread and butter fishies. I'd like to have a go breeding some kribs, rams, siamese fighters, angels etc.

Looking forward to it all set up! So far the building is all insulated and lined, the led lights (including blue for nightime - ooo!) are fitted and we have had heaps of sockets wired up too. Even a water proof light switch

Next job is to build all the racking to hold the tanks, plumb up all the tanks - they will all run off a sump. Apart from a couple of QT tanks and also the marine tank will obviously be run on a different sump.

So still lots to do, and it isn't cheap so we are doing a bit at a time

Well I hav just set up my tank for the first time...can't wait to get fish but am still deciding between cold water and aquarium type...

Can I ask a Q tho?

For cold water i.e goldgish do you need pumps etc in the tank (a bit of a novist as you can tell!!)

TY
