That's not too bad, I've got 10 tanks (not including my newt/toad tank or my lizard cage) in my room I fall asleep to the sound of more than a dozen filters/pumps
55g
55g
29g high
20g long
20g long
10g
10g
10g
5g
5g
20g long newt/toad tank
3' high lizard cage

And If I didn't need to have a bed ( ), I would probably have another 55g and/or 29g high

Hey Dwarfs, have you ever thought of getting a water bed and putting some fish in it!!

 

[Dwarfs]

Nah, that might have some nasty feeling lumps in it

 

[SamUK]

i think its tolak that has over 30 tanks

Hey Dwarfs, have you ever thought of getting a water bed and putting some fish in it!!

yeah, and someone would put a lionfish in there and get stung when they roll over at night!!

i've got 12 tanks. so your not that bad!!

i was also going to have a goldfish tank, an outdoor pond with an oscar and 2 tanks with breeding pairs of german blue rams and dwarf cakatoo cichlids, but i changed my mind on those and im going to give my goldfish away.

 

[Miss Dib Dabs]

I have 14 on the go.
Mind you one is currently a hospital tank for my betta girls. They were exposed to a new fish for an hour (it was in a breeding net in their tank) which died within the day of what looked like columnaris. Now I've lost one girl and am fighting for the rest with the same thing. All my beautiful girls. A sore way to be reminded never to expose a new fish to any long time residents without quarantine.
Pray for my girls.
Hugs,
P.

blonde moment - whats mts ???

 

[aberdeen aquarist]

multiple tank syndrome, a very contagious disease found amongst fishkeepers with no known cure!

 

[Miss Wiggle]

aaaaah i think i may have that starting too, i have a v small 1 bedroom terraced house and will have 3 tanks on the go shortly. Also within the next 8/9 months (probably...... maybe) I'll have Ian moving in probably with another 2 tanks...... and then he wants to start with marine's

although i must say I'm pleased with my tank re-organisation, i'm actually going to have room for a table now so I won't have to eat off my knees anymore, the space has always been sacrificed to tanks

i can't wait to get a bigger house so there's room for more!

 

[aberdeen aquarist]

just convert your shed, i did!

 

[Miss Wiggle]

i would if i had one, if i had any outdoor space i'd be adding a koi pond to that list, but i live in a back to back terrace with no garden/yard of any sort so therefore no shed

Ian wants to convert my cellar to a massive pond tho!
