Amount Of Fish?

[JackoUK]

I was wondering if anyone kept track of how many fish their keeping at the moment. Until I counted mine today i'd never really thought about how many I owned. I know some of you have numerous tanks as I was wondering if you did, or even could, keep track of how many you keep. I've added a poll so we can see what the average amount of fish kept by forum member are.

I am currently keeping 22 fish in 2 tanks.

Over 30, maybe over 50. I have a lot of fish between my aquariums and some are/will soon be breeding so the numbers are going to increase.

last time i did acount up I had over 200 but that was ages ago.
I'm proberbly down to around 100 now.

hmmm...13 in this room... then 3 adult tiger teddies upstairs...and 5 fry...and 9 ticos...oh, no, I forgot the new fry I found this morning...then my neighbour's goldfish in the front room (are we counting lodgers?) and the 3 guppies, 4 platies, 1 adult bristlenose+a dozen juvies, ?15 portholes...are we counting amano shrimps?-well, make that just under 60 - oh, no should have been just over 60, I've just voted in the wrong box. Oh well, never mind. I've still got plenty of room though.

Right now i'm re-counting all of my fish due to lots of breeding in my fish tanks and a few fish losses etc, but its taking a while at the moment, however when i'm done i'll re-update my profile. I counted my mature platys and guppys just the other day, 15 female guppys and 2-3 recently matured males in one tank, about 22 male guppys in another tank, 17 female platys in one tank with 2males, 3 male platys in another tank. And a lot of fry in many tanks. Thats about 63 livebearers in total, and there are numerous other fish i keep.
I'm considering rehoming some of my male guppys at the moment since the vast majority i own are home bred, i eventually want to have enough females so i can have at least 2 females per male guppy again and have them all in the same tank again- with the current amount of males i have at current though (about 24-25, posibly more with the many young guppys i have at the moment beginning to sexually mature), if i wanted to have 2 females per male i'd need 48-50 females, so this is why i'm strongly considering rehoming some of the males right now as that would be an insane amount of guppys to look after. I would say i definately have over 75fish, i'm guessin i have around just under 100 fish in total at the moment overal though.

adults fish about 25, however with the current fry numbers well over 75

 

[lilfishie]

well i try to keep track as best i can, i voted 30 - 45, not sure on the exact number but we have around 30 guppies and several fry, i have 5 bettas and 5 tetras too, spread out across 8 tanks, the largest being two 15 gallons

 

[iairj84]

40-60 was my guestimate. I don't know how many fry i have ATM... I would imagine it might be over 75 with them included.

I have only 3 fish at the moment. They are really cool though. I like understocked tanks better then overstocked tank. Before I went to college I think I had about 55 to 60 fish.

 

[dthoffsett]

I have 41 fish in 4 tanks.

When i first got into this hobby i had 5 fish and they all had names. Then i had 10 fish and they all have names. now i have 30 fish and am soon to have more and just realized i cant name every fish i get anymore I guess i could just call them wtvr i want whever but its not the same as having a permanent name... oh well just one of the drawbacks of getting a lot of fish..

 

[stang1]

73 at the moment!

 

[dc3]

99 fish at last count, then a rescued goldfish pushed it into triple digits...
