not including QT tanks, how many tanks do you have?



Personally, I have 7. 5 of which are occupied, waiting for bits and pieces to set up the last two.


30Gal German Ram Tank [ Soon to be anyways ]

10Gal little Marshy type crab tank [ Soon to be, anyways ]

10gal Menagerie tank, 3 Blackskirt Tetras, CAE, 1 Dalmation Molly and Various fry.

10Gal Male Betta Tank, Male Betta, Three Zebra Danios, 2 Albino Cory Cats [ 3 of them recently died for some obsurd reason, Water Params fine, No idea why. ]

10Gal Female Betta Tank. 2 Female bettas, Banjo Cat, Red Claw Crab, Ramshorn Snail, 4 Ottos.

10Gal Molly Fry Tank, 6 Molly Fry, Moving them slowly from the Menagerie tank to this tank for growout


29Gal Menagerie Tank, Male Balloon Molly, Female Betta, Bala Shark, 2 Unknown Fish [ Rescued them from someone who could no longer keep fish ], 2 female crabs, Common Pl*co, Some very smart and wise Ghost Shrimp [ As in, Hiding and not being eaten yet ], 4 Black Mysteries, 3 Ramshorn
 
I have 5 right now, but one will be taken down and set aside for a Q-tank, and another one is at my daughter's elementary school, but once she completes 5th grade this year I am donating it to the school and leaving it to them to take care of (I think I just about have them trained..)

We are putting our house on the market in a couple of weeks and hope to move in April or May, so I may have to sell my fish and plants ( 8O ) and put a couple of the tanks in storage if there is a gap between selling this house and closing on a new house. If we can swing it I hope to keep them and just move the tanks from one house to the other, but who knows!

The tanks are:

10-gal with snails and shrimp (soon to be Q-tank)
15-gal glass Eclipse with powder blue dwarf gourami, 3 paleatus cory cats and 2 large mystery snails (school tank)
12-gal Eclipse with breeding pair of kribensis
44-gal ARLC with 5 juvie N. Brichardi (looks like 2 pair and one oddball)
55-gal heavily planted, medium high light, CO2 injected, with single adult male marble redhead angel, dwarf gourami, white cloud minnows, serpae tetras including fry, spotted cory cats, 3 juvie bristlenose cats, single cardinal tetra, single male black phantom tetra, and recently discovered ghost shrimp that I thought were eaten, but have been hiding for 6 months!
 
Depends on what counts as tanks... actual tanks I have four...
the 55 gal I just got that is empty for now
a 20 gal long that I built up and have land and water housing 2 firebelly toads and one feeder guppy..
a 15 gal that has an unknown number of guppies and a few ottos
a 10 gal that I use to breed pill bugs and sow bugs...
I also have various critter keepers and other containers housing a snake, three salamanders and other various creatures...
 
1 12 gallon Eclipse. Just passed my 1 year anniversary - Mar 3 of last year I first set up the tank!

I actually just compared photos of my tank over time. Depressingly I have discovered that my plants looked much better about year ago than now (many didn't survive). And even my betta looked healthier when I first got him. In fact everything looks like crap.

How depressing.
 
3 tanks, 5 gallon in my dorm, a 20g at my house and a 125 that is empy in my brothers basement waiting for me :)
 
As of right now I have 6 that are set up and running, and almost a dozen of them in storage waiting on the room to set up. Had more going but had to take them down recently. I have 2 ten gal going, 2 20 gal, 1 55 gal and a 75 gal all up and running through out the house.
 
Lessee..

1 2 1/2g no fish atm
1 8g 1 male betta aka QT tank
3 10g One is my planted with 2 dwarf gouramis, 2 otos, 2 flagfish and 4 neon/cards (soon to be 3; one is dying)
One is the QT for my new keyhole cichlids (4 of em)
One is empty
1 15g Planted tank with 2 mated Bolivian rams
1 25g Semi planted tank with 2 adult angels, 11 angel fry, 2 Bolivian rams
1 55g 5 adult angels, 3 clown loaches, 3 yoyo loaches, 1 big fat plec.

Holy jeez I have a lot of tanks LOL 2 aren't up and running tho; the 2 1/2 is awaiting the return of the betta thats in the 8g, and I'm getting rid of one of the 10g tanks (2 QT tanks is enough ;) ).
 
10 total.

3G, 2x 10G, 3x 20GL, 29G, 75G, 2x 90G

Of course, only 6 are occupied. The 10 gallons and two 20 gallons are empty right now.
 
Wow, I thought I was bad.

72Gal Bowfront - Reef
46 Gal Bowfront - Uhh kinda reef currenly housing a lot of LR, and misc inverts.
20 Gal Freshy lightly planted - this on is coming down soon, I have lost my freshy
desire. :(
12 Gal JBJ nano cube - lil'reef with LR, LS, a coupla softies and two mantis shrinp.

10 - QT empty
 
For me 4.

1 55gal community tank.
1 5 gal will soon be housed with my big bad betta
1 10 gal QT
And my 20 gal which houses my two baby red-ear sliders (turtles).

In the process of getting another 55 gal...maybe :)
 
I'm rather disturbed that, other than Ferret, I ahve the most tanks here. o_O


The sad thing is, I don't have room for a single 10gal, yet I have five 10gals, 29 and a 30. ^_^;

What's disturbing? It is an honor and a distinction! :D

Actually, I started this thread and poll in atempt to get some evidence to show my family that I wasn't addicted.


So much for that, ne? :lol:
 
Look at it this way, you only have 109 gallons total, Add up ferrets and some of the other peoples total gallons... a lot more than that...
 
I know, I know.

I have to stick with small tanks tho.

And to be honest, I had to throw out a chair and rearrange the living room to make the 30 fit. :oops:
