Hi all, I have a poll for you guys/gals. What kinds of
fish/plant/invert's do you have? How manny and what size tanks do you
have? how long have you been keeping fish? Do you have a favorit fish, Why?

TIA

I have:
1 Banded rainbow
1 zibra diano
3 Glowlight tetras
2 Clown loach
3 yoyo loach
5 glowlight rasboras
I have 3 tanks 2-10gal and 1 20gal(new one), I've been keeping fish for
about six monthes now but was always interested with them since I was a
kidd, looking at all my dad's tanks he hat over 14 at one point.
Favorite fish would be my clown loaches they are just oddballs, also my
banded rainbow is a favorite, a fish I never realy wanted but is a
strong guy. he's at least 6y and has cycled 2 new tanks, has had 2
fungal problems(unrelated) and is still kiking


I've had fish on and off since I was a child. Through my adult life I've
kept goldfish (with some breaks) for a number of years and then got
bitten by the Tropical bug and have been keeping these for around 18
months or so.

I've got 7 tanks currently up and running. The capacity is in Imperial
Gallons rather than US.

47.5 Gall Community (about to be upgraded to a 130 gall plus)

3 Boesman Rainbows
2 Red Rainbows
3 Flying Foxes
? number of Otos
4 Platys (at last count)
1 Guppy
4 Neon Tetras
1 Queen Arabesque Plec
3 Blue/3 spot/opaline Gouramis

47.5 Gall Malawi tank

Lots of Melanchronis Blue Johannis - have lost count but started with 3
adults
4 Yellow Labs plus fry
3 Maylandia Lombardi - lots of fry in various stages of growth
2 I've struggled to identify but looking at Christmas's PFK I'm pretty
sure they are Copadichromis trewavasae (but I don't really have a clue)
1 Snowball Plec

Doesn't sound many but if you saw the number of fry/juvs you'd know why
I'm continually worrying about the stocking level. Lost quite a few of
my original purchases due to "Mbuna in-fighting" but all seems
reasonably settled for now - that is of course until a new challenger
comes up for the Alpha position.

30 gall tank (my son's)

2 Pearl Gourami
4 Mollies (homegrown)
6 Rasboras
6 Glowlight Tetras
2 Yoyo loaches

7.5 gall Hex

Approx 12 Blue Eye Gertrude Rainbows

5 gall tank

1 Betta (red, called Boris)
4 Blue Eye Gertrude Rainbows

5 gall tank (QT)

3 Platys along with the 3 fry they produced the day after I bought them
6 Blue Eye Gertrude Rainbows

15 gall

2 "Powder Blue" Dwarf Gouramis
1 Blue Ram
4 Rummy Nose Tetras
4 Julii Cories
and temporarily home to 3 small Clown Loaches bought today...hopefully
they will clear up the snails before moving on to the new tank when it
arrives.
