how many fish tanks do you have?

[LizStreithorst]

Not just how many
where are they located
how many are devoted to Discus
If some are devoted to other fish, what fish are they?

I'll have to answer my first question when I go to the fish room in the morning and count. The number of tanks I have is always changing.

[jeep]

I have 6 tanks dedicated to discus, one tank dedicated to ABN's (soon to be 3 tanks) and 5 more sitting empty. All but the ABN tank are in my finally remodeled fish room/spare bedroom. After I finish the next phase of my remodeling project, I'm planning on a 200+g tank.

[peewee1]

I started with 2, I made them myself. Then 5, 4 for discus breeding and 1 saltwater. Marriage ended it all but I did manage to sneak a small community tank into the baby's room. To this day Little Ricky tell's me how much he enjoyed watching the fish as he lay in bed as he was going to sleep. Then none. But now 2. One for the general population of discus and 1 breeding tank. I would have more but it was a battle just getting the breeding tank. When LR finishes his study and moves out I suspect I will be able to expand my empire unabated.

Living room.. 125 g discus

Office..1 each 75 gal, 4 each 55 gals,1 ea 29 gal breeder,2 each 40 gal breeders... all discus. ONE 40 gal breeder leopard plecos

Fish room

Right now I do not have any discus

I have 2 x 125gals, one in eat in kitchen, one in basement. My wife's fav fish is the Texas cichlid so I have a CA display in the kitchen. In the basement tank I have a group of 7 wild aequidens diadama from Rio Jenaro Herrera in Peru, and some gold Barb's, roseline Barb's and a few other. The tank is divided because the "peaceful" aquedens annihilated a bunch of 2-3" tetra's and barb's, lol. 1 of the males is sitting on eggs this am. I am hoping they hatch this time as this aquedens variety substrate spawn but then mouth brood the fry. Here's a few pics of them...

@Al

Holy tanks! That's quite a number! I bet it's amazing to see so many discus. The amount of hard work and determination to have that many tanks is nothing to scoff at. Keep being our inspiration man.

@dano

Wow those photos are amazing. Your texas chiclid tank setup looks legit amazing. No brainer one of those tanks that leave you breathless and stare at for hours. Crystal clear water.


As for myself. I still consider myself a newbie (at least until I can keep discus properly), and I have one 55 and a 10g for a pleco and some tetras. I'll definitely upgrade in the future, but it's hard to have more room to put tanks in a 1200 sqft townhome. Also the boss lady says no

[LizStreithorst]

I just counted mine up. I have 24 in all.
a 125 rainbow fish tank and 30 a red shrimp tank in the office
In the fish room there are 2 40 breeders one with a Discus pair, one sitting empty waiting for another pair 20 with some plecos, magenta mystery snails, and some red shrimp that found their way in there on plants
1 29 with blue shrimp and another with Discus grow outs, 1 with tiny Pearl Gourami babies and Long finned Albino BN
6 60 wides
4 are sitting empty, one houses a bunch of Bristlenose another has some tiny bosemani rainbow fish babies
2 90's sitting empty
3 100's 1 is a community Discus tank, one planted that used to house the Discus for a while but now dedicated to Sterbais L144 bristle nose, and (please forigve me) a ton of young red Platy's and 1 sitting empty
4 10's 3 for rams and 1 sitting empty
1 5 gallon, empty
also, I have a 20 and 29 that I am using to age water
I think that's it.

A few years back a lot of these tanks were slam full of angles, but I got tired of them and sold them all.

I have 50 tanks running now ,not one empty but some lightly stocked ,some not so lightly !
3 of them are housing discus and the rest go to swordtails and rams .
1 65g has all my angels still as I have not split them up proper yet ..
I do not count my 180g in my living room ever when I count tanks or my 120g reef and 75g paladarium .None of those tanks are in the fish room[s] so they don't really count , right ?
When I drilled a hole in my living room floor to run my sump for the 180 in the basement that was the beginning of the fish room[s] I love so much today .
A day without fish is like a day without sunshine IMO …
I was told I would know when I was getting carried away ..Those people are lucky I am running out of room for more tanks !
