Mts Or Fish Addicition!

[jourdy288]

started with a 20 tall and now i have a 10, 55 and 60 along with the original 20. i'm trying to con my better half into letting me replace the 55 with a 75 or 90 because we don't have the room for a much bigger footprint. i'll be getting a lot more once we get a house.

p.s. uhhh...what MTS?

Multiple tank syndrome.

I currently have a 75gal, 29gal, and a 10gal, with 2 empty 10's. I'm planning to sell the 29, and once the bettas die I'll break down the 10. I'm thinking of setting up a 40gal once the other tanks are gone, but we'll see. Since I live on the 2nd floor of an apartment, I can't go too crazy.

I started off with an 18G goldfish tank had that until Jan this year bought a secondhand 66G which I intended to put the goldies in but it came with 4 tropicals already; a geohpagus, a blue gourami & 2 gold corys. At the time I thought the gourami was beautiful and just had to keep her, I loved the geo too I didn't like the corys at first but my husband did so he went out and bought them a 15G for them to live in as they were terrified of the bully geo(glad he did as corys are one of my fav fish now). He also decided we should have 2 senegalus, he got one the geo picked on her so then I had to get rid of the geo(luckily a guy at the lfs had a male and took her in and now breeds them). So then we got the male senegalus, slowly built up the fish in the tank as well as coming on here and building up my knowledge(and boy did I used to do things sooooo wrong).

I got my goldies a 30G, the corys moved into their old 18G and I got 4 bronze, got pandas for the old 15G as well as a bandit cory who was all alone(shop had no intention of gettting anymore in). Husband got me a 5G hexagonal tank because I wanted to get a betta, I also bought a 40G & 35G and kept then in storage. After buying more tanks, selling a few, moving fish around, buying more losing my whole tank of pandas a few months back(I went on holiday and left a relative to look after them, never again!!!). My current tanks / stocking are as follows;

35G with 1 black moor,1 calico telescope
30G planted with 2 gold corys, 4 bronze corys, 4 oto's, 5 three lined(false juli) corys & 7 amano shrimp
15G planted - with 7 panda corys, 3 otos & 6 amano shrimp
5G planted - with 3 dwarf frogs

I still have the 40g & 35G tanks in storage, they'll be coming out and getting setup next year, the 40G will be a high tech planted tank and the fish from the 30G will be going in that, the 35G will be a low tech planted for the goldies. The pandas will be going in the 30G, the frogs will be going in the 15G, the 5G will become my 'little ones' tank for the cory fry & frog tadpoles to be raised in(not together though as the tadpoles will eat the cory fry). Then I'll have the 35G left over, I'm thinking either puffers, some other oddballs or cichlids

I have only been doing the hobby for a year. We got a 30 litre Biorb for our sons, which we have since sold and that got me completely hooked. Over the past twelve months I have been a major sufferer of MTS but am now at least partially cured. I bought a Juwel Rio 240, Rena 80 litre, 70 litre, 40 litre, 30 litre quarantine tank and most recently a Juwel Rio 300. Oh, and a five litre tank which I intended to use for a betta but never even filled.

All the others were up and running together for a while though. The amount of space they took up and time to maintain meant that I decided to scale things down a bit.

I now have my Juwel Rio 300 as a planted community, my 40 litre holds a colony of shelldwellers and I have the 30 litre quarantine on standby. My garage is full of empty tanks awaiting sale on ebay whilst I spend each morning deicing my windscreen

Edit: oh yeah, forgot the PFK cube I got second hand from a board member, used for a few months and then sold on to another board member! You get the idea! I am pretty set with what I have now and like being able to give the two tanks my full attention so this is how it will stay.
