Today is Fishtank day, I think. It is the day of the month where we do the basic maintenance on the fishtanks - water changes and filter media cleaning/changing. Luckily we did eliminate a few tanks - consolidating them down into one another. Now we have six tanks. I am kinda bored so I am going to list what we keep in these tanks.
Current Set Ups:
55 Gallon Predator - In here we have a 7ish inch Delhezi Bichir Eel, 6" Transparent Knifefish, two 5" Siamensis Algae Eaters, 10" Burmese Eel and a 4 1/2 -5" Flagtail Characin, some small plecos, quite a number of Malyasian Trumpet snails and a hand full of Ram's Horn snails. Currently this tank is outfitted with medium pebble-river bottom look substrate and assorted driftwood. As my own personal touch I added a t-rex skull and for live plants I have a medium to large, very healthy looking amazon sword, bolbitus fern and my water lily that I am housing inside over winter. My driftwood has been shuffled around in there and as such this tank will be getting some rearranging today in addition to its cleaning.
5 Gallon Chi - This is my husband's Fluval Chi tank in which he currently has two Albino Corydora cats, two Otocinclus cats and an assortment of fancy guppies mized with Endlers, as well as some trumpet snails.
10 Gallon Betta Twin - This is just a 10 gallon tank that I put a divider in so that I can have a male betta on either side. Each male lives with ghost shrimp and some plain female guppies.
1 Gallon Betta Princess - This female refuses to play nicely with my other female so she is secloistered to her own tank. She seems quite thrilled and was gracious enough to share her space with some ghost shrimp.
125 Gallon Tropical Community - This tank has the most denizens by far. I wont list them all, just a few that are a little more special to me than others. Two Debauwi cats, two Snakeskin Gouramis, two Moonlight Gouramis, one very large fancy goldfish, one Horse Face Loach, one very small Clown Loach, 3 African Butterflies and my most treasured guy: the ginormous Blue Knight Lobster. This tank is outfitted only with plastic plants as I am too cheap to shell out the money for a lighting system sufficient enough to grow aquarium plants.
Best for last:
20 Gallon Scenic Tank - this is a 20 long with very fine Crystal River substrate. I have a fake trunk looking decoration on which I piled subwassertang to make it look like a very full tree. Scattered around in a large mound next to that I have java moss, meant to look like a grassy knoll. Behind that and around one side of the tank I have various tall stem plants that look like the edge of a forest. Inhabitants: Three Marble Hatchets, seven Cardinal Tetras, four Harlequin Rasboras, six Pygmy Corydora cats, a few Ghost shrimp, five Pinocchio shrimp, two Blueberry shrimp, two Blue Wood shrimp and a few Crystal shrimp.
