My Bedroom Tanks

[joshthewacko]

My upright tank which now holds 4 goldfish but soon to be a betta tank

My Interpet Fish Box Cube tank which houses 4 Fairy Cichlids which have just had babies - about 30-40 of them!

My Platy Fry tank

My Main (for now) Juwel Rekford 96l with mainly platys but i have a few corydoras, and a couple of plecs

Forgot to add the community tropical tank

and the marine tank: two clownfish, 2 green chromis, 1 wrasse?, 1 regal tang, 1 blennie/goby (one of the two) along with a very annoying teddybear crab which is pretty big that we can't seem to get rid of!

Wow thats a lot of tanks for 1 room haha!!

How come you dont fill your tanks up to the top? Those goldfish would do much better in a bigger tank but even a top up would be better than nothing.

The community tank worries me you have a real odd bunch of fish in there including things that get quite big - though even that Congo Tetra looks quite massive in the tank - how big is the tank? And what is the stocking in there.

Thanks
And the community tank wasn't originally like that, a lot of the fish came from a friend whose tank literally cracked and we saved what fish was left as they were to be rehomed. It's a aqua one bow front 170l bow front with a tetratec ex700 and an internal fluval.

I've also got a 4ft rena tank that I'm going to swap out the 96 and the cube when I get around to lugging it into the house!

I am jealous. I wish I had as many tanks!

You have an odd selection of fish for your community tank though. It surely wont be long until some of those fish are not appropriate for a tank of that size.

Ah right fair enough, loads of tanks cracking at the moment its crazy!! Just make sure you can sort them out responsibly Bearing in mind the Bala and the Clowns will need a 6 footer but get the congo some friends and get them in the 4 foot

Also one more worry for me - the platy fry tank the water level is really out which can be a bit of a problem with keeping the tank water tight I would try and get the tank on a more stable stand and get the water level as straight as possible.

so i should get some polystyrene to go underneath?

all of the fish that will outgrow will do so by the time in which i will of built my fish house, so the clowns, congo's etc will go in the 6ft-ers! i want to set up the 4ft for a lake malawi tank, just need some more ocean rock and because i am going to run both the tetratec ex700 thats out in the shed with the aquamanta efx200 i cant do anything till ive bought another filter for the 96l (most probably just a fluval u4 as i want to have either apistos, my fairy cichlids or some kribs etc).
