jude Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I visited Billaney and Adele last night and was just blown away. He has soooo many tanks, all sparkling clean and full of fish and babies. The tanks with adult fish are all beautifully decorated and very attractive. The tanks have spread all over the house now - upstairs, downstairs, and the garage. Just when we thought we had seen all of them we were invited into his daughter's room to see her tank - another lovely tank full of gorgeous angelfish. She denies having caught the bug but she's already bred some bristlenoses!!!!!!!!!!! Adele's cichlid tank is stunning, its nearly fully cycled and she has some beautiful fish just waiting to go in there. Its in a great spot, with a comfy armchair nearby so she can relax and watch the fish. I can't wait to see it once its been established for a while. Thanks for letting us see them Billaney, it was a real treat Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I'll second that. Just walking in that house is enough to give you the MTS bug. But the amazing thing is that these aren't just 20 tiny tanks. They range from 700 litres down to 38 litre tanks. Last count he was successfully breeding 7 different kinds of fish and all the fish are the healthiest and happiest I've seen yet. I went over to a different fishy friends' last night and was talking with her about a KMAC tank crawl. Looking forward to that! Hopefully we'll have moved out to Wainoui-"fish central"-omata so we don't get passed up as we're pretty much the only ones that live in the city these days!

Caryl Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I still say it is a badly designed house though. Too few walls and too many windows make it harder to fit more tanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faran Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 LOL, Kim was just getting on me about wanting to put a cold water tank in the toilet (converted outhouse)... FREEZING in there, figure some NZ native fish would be as happy as being outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
