I am a fish keeper ! - Ram - 02-21-2012

I have been keeping fish seriously for about two years.

All my fish are freshwater tropical fish. 3 of my fish tanks are planted.


Meet my cutest pet fish - A female Dwarf Gourami who would spits water at me whenever I open the top of the tank






However, this is my most proud aquarium

Hi Ram8349
Those are great looking fish. I think they are really beautiful, but I've never had much luck with fish myself. They are fascinating to watch, though.
Do your fish seem to have their own personalities? I had some goldfish for a while and I thought mine did Smile
How many tanks and fish do you have?



RE: I am a fish keeper ! - Ram - 02-23-2012

I have total 4 fish tanks.
40 gallon planted community tank
10 gallon planted community tank
10 gallon shrimp and fry tank
5.5 gallon hospital/quarantine tank

Total over 70 fish. Total Over 150+ shrimps. And a few snails.
I remember one of the funny Youtube video mentioned "Before you know it, you have more tanks than friends". LOL! I didn't meant to add another, and another lol. It had to be done when I purchased some Neon Rainbowfish with mouth rot. They needed treatment away from other fish, but then they suddenly had 40+ fry.

Only 4 tanks I have. Some people have dozens throughout their house lol. It would be a full time job to take care of that many fish tanks. With 4, I already feel I shouldn't have this many. Weekly water change with only 1 tank now has become with 4 tanks. But support tanks such as hospital tank and fry tank are definitely needed.

I'm a fish fanatic as well. I have several tanks ranging from 55 gallons down to 5.5 gallons. I get a kick out of keeping them all though they are a ton of work at times!
