Aqua Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 1 tank only (at the moment! :lol:) 48"x18"x18" Fish: White Cloud Mountain Minnow (about 14) Peppered Catfish (1) Bronze Catfish (2) Clown Loaches (2) Bristlenosed Catfish (2) Red-Spot Pleco (1) Siamese Algae Eaters (2) Siamese Fighting Fish (1) Plants: Cabomba Ambulia Java Fern Java Moss Anubias nana Amazon Sword Vallisneria Bacopa moniera Indian Fern I know it's understocked, but I want to have more plants growing in there before I add many more fish - although having more of a school of the WCMM would be nice!

Rob Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Ok - this may take a little while. I think 14 tanks no longer counts as hobby and goes a fair way to obsession. At the moment I don't feel like measuring all of their dimensions so I'll just give a length for each tank. There are 4 display tanks: 5' tank: Fish pair of blue lumphead cichlids pair of electric blue cichlids 4 young electric yellow cichlids pair Katanga peacock cichlids pair featherfin synos 3 nigrita (?) synos 4 upside down cats 3 south american bumble bee cats 2 clay hoplos 2 large chocolate stripe cats 2 spotted talking cats 3 pearl mystus cats 1 pictus cat pair clown plecos 1 male bristlenose 1 male rubberlipped pleco 2 pakistani loaches 2 angelicus loaches 3 logsucker fish 3 black line flying foxes 4 boesmani rainbows 4 australian rainbows 2 lacustris rainbows 3 exquisita rainbows 2 unknown rainbows 3 herbertaxelrodi rainbows 1 male madacascan rainbow plants java fern vallisnaria gigantia sword plants 3' live bearer tank: fish guppies blue platies black swordtails 2 pairs American flag fish 3 zodiac loaches 4 swartzi corys 4 san juan corys 2 black line flying foxes 3-5 young clown plecos plants hydrocotyl indian fern balansae crypt unknown crypts java fern var. windeloev 3' dwarf tank fish 6 emerald eye rasbora 10 dwarf rasbora 10 indian hatchets pair empress dwarf cichlids pair twig cats 1 royal whiptail cat 8 whiptails (3 adults, 5 juveniles) 2 hill stream loaches 2 elegans corys 5 melanistus corys 3 golden eel loaches 1 young clown pleco 1 male featherfin rainbow 2 black line flying foxes plant ambulia crypts vallisneria ambrosium pearlweed anubias 4' discus tank 4 young red-turq discus 3 dwarf flag cichlids 2 female golden eye dwarf cichlids 3 porthole cats 3 flagtail porthole cats 6 flagtail corys 6 trilineatus corys 6 sodalis corys 6 sterbai corys 3 or 4 young clown plecos 5 diamond tetras 7 yellow phantom tetras 5 red phantom tetras 5 black phantom tetras 20 neons 4 cochu blue tetras 3 glass cats 4 marble hatchets 2 silver hatchets couple of unpaired tetras 3 black line flying foxes plants amazon swords leopard swords marble queen sword chain swords ozelot sword (?) crypts water star red rotala red pine tree bacopa (not doing well at the moment) Aponogetons The rest of the tanks are breeding and raising (with some of the raising tanks getting used as storage for potential breeding stock). 2' 1 male, 3 female agassizi dwarf cichlids 2 young bristlenose 5 pygmy corys 2' 4 borelli dwarf cichlids 3 skunk corys 15" 14 baby brazilian butterfly plecos 12" 6 Normans lampeye killies + young 12" trio rio napo corys some lampeye young 2' - with three partitions a) 30 or so young dwarf flag cichlids + 5 young brazilian butterfly plecos b) 14 young agassizi dwarf cichlids + 16 or so young pygmy corys + 2 young rubber lipped plecos c) about 40 baby whiptail cats 2' breeding pair of brazilian butterfly plecos (not breeding :evil: ) pair of clown plecos 2' pair blue faced dwarf cichlids 3 small vermiculated synos 1 small decorated syno 5 melini cories pair bristlenose 3 young rubber lipped plecos 2' two male feather fin rainbows (were supposed to be females but turned out to be males with their fins cropped :evil: ) 12" (old battery jar) male guppies 5 axelrodi corys outside - make shift pond with white clouds also separate plastic bin with the longer-finned white clouds from Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to breed heaps of both kinds but haven't seen any of the smaller browner version for the best part of 10 years. I'm happy to have recently got some young of the more commonly available species and look forward to breeding them once they're older. > 3 logsucker fish You made that up! > 6 Normans lampeye killies + young Excellent! You know I'm keen to get some of those! Glad to see you're getting a few dwarf cichlids. I know how much you love to hear 'breed those' so I wont actually say it, I'll just think it...

You know I'm keen to get some of those! Glad to see you're getting a few dwarf cichlids. I know how much you love to hear 'breed those' so I wont actually say it, I'll just think it... Yip clay hoplos are the 'other' hoplos (Hoplosternum littorale), got both of them up at Hollywoods one time, haven't seen them anywhere else. I did not make up "logsucker fish" - you've got some wholesaler to blame for that - from the Baensch atlas they're actually some sort of Epalzeorhynchos (same genus as regular flying foxes) I just can't recall the species name at the moment. I bought them not so much for their looks but their behaviour. Yes I'm definitely aware of your acquisitive nature when it comes to Killies and you're definitely top of the list for where the first younguns go. Yip there are lots of things I'm supposed to be breeding for people around the country - the dwarf cichlids are quite high on my list of priorities at the moment (for a number of reasons - they're not cheap, some of them don't come in regularly and in some cases I only have a pair so can't afford to wait around too long).

Excellent! I hadn't seen them for so long that I was concerned they'd been lost from the hobby. They're easy enough to breed and being smaller are more suited to the average community tank, IMHO. > I'm definitely aware of your acquisitive nature when it > comes to Killies and you're definitely top of the list for > where the first younguns go. I'll look forward to them. Will probably be passing through the Waikato in November... Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 :lol: :-? Looks like my tanks are definitely understocked. 167 litre = One pigeon turquiose discus; Four bristlenose catfish; six clown loaches; four neon tetras. 80litre hexagon = two bronze corydoras; one peppered catfish; two adult angels and twenty or so juvenile angel fry. (Caryl just took a dozen or so away). 20 litre (temporary) one geophagus jupari; one siamese algae eater & four bumble-bee cobies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Sheila Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Looks like my tanks are definitely understocked. I prefer the understocked look. Or at least i will one I get my new tank. My current tank: 4' 210L 1 nearly 12" Tiger Oscar 1 10" silver shark 1 11" Sailfin PLeco 1 recently deceased 9" Geophagus altifrons New tank: 8'3" approx 700L all the above as well as (maybe) 2 smallish G altifrons 2 Convicts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 right here goes. 4' tank 2 red tiger oscars roughly 10" long 1 plecostomus (currently in brother in laws tank due to Oscars laying eggs) approx 12" long 3' tank (just recently set up) 2 bristlenoses 1 ottocinclus 2.5' tank ( to be transferred to 3' tank eventually) 6 clown loaches 2 pearl gouramis 3 panda corydoras 1 peppered corydoras 13 white cloud mountain minnows (10 adults 3 fry) 10 leopard danios (1 adult 9 fry) 5 half wedge harlequins 4 rummy noses 7 cardinals 2 pristellas 1 crown tail fighter. I think that is all. I would love more, but I have to focus more on marriage (october) than fish at the moment. however at a later date I will have a 4 or 5 foot tank with discus. but alas at the moment it is a long way off.

Goldie Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Just added another 3 foot tank in which the geophagus jupari live with three gourami (2 orange and one blue) and the siamese algae eater. Also got two more discus for the discus tank and some neons, rummy nose and black tetras. ....................................... Now to get back to work to pay for it alll sighhhhhhhhh .................................WELL WORTH it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Hmmm, Focusing on marriage instead of the fish...Oooh, bad choice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 I'd love to say I agree with you Ira, but it's not worth my life. Slowly i will accumulate all I need and more, and if I'm clever little by little and I might be allowed. Now any ideas on how to convince someone that a five foot tank is neccessary?

Ira Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Don't look at me, I haven't managed to convince my wifey that another 4 foot is necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 All OK here as we are both interested in fish. Grant hasn't anything to do with looking after them but he does enjoy looking at them. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.L Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 also - tell her that a 5ft means less work than a smaller tank 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 she doesn't believe that. She already knows that if a get a five foot my oscars will have a new home, and my four foot will become the discus tank. she already knows the cost of plants and discus so I imagine I'm out of luck with that suggestion. Keep the ideas coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.L Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 mm, there's a discus breeder in auckland that sells discus for $35 and up for like 3-4"... and plants ... well sometime's you get people here giving them away (Thanks Nik/Aqua :lol:).
