Hi all, this is my second post, although I have been a member of this forum for quite some time, just been lurking. My name is Chip, live in Midland, MI and currently have 5 freshwater tanks, most planted with many different species and tank sizes. I plan on adding a couple saltwater tanks into the mix as well, one reef and fowlr, have had this in the planning for almost six months. I am a patient fish keeper, I like to be successful with my tanks and will find the right way to do things, hopefully on the first shot, but not always. My stocking list is as follows:
90g Acrylic with built in wet/dry on back(have neve seen this type of tank other than this one)
Fauna: pair of kribensis, kissing gourami, 3 bristlenose pleco, 5 madagascar rainbows
Flora: 3 swords(unknown), pennywort, java moss, anubias barteri var barteri
55g old school glass with stainless frame and slate bottom
Fauna: 9" Oscar, 7" Jack Dempsy, 8" Albino Chocolate Pleco
Flora: 2 swords(unkown), java moss, bronze wendtii crypt, dwarf sag. subulata
29g Fauna: Breeding pair of convicts(no shock they are breeding, lol) and about 30 fry
Flora: 2 swords(mother and daughter melon sword), java moss, 2 bronze wendtii crypt, pennywort, spiral vals, dwarf sag subulata
29g Fauna: 4 blue platy(3m, 1f prego), 4 paleatus cory cats, rubberlip pleco
Flora: 2 swords(mother and daughter marlbe queen rubican), java moss, telanthera, anubias barteri var barteri, bronze wendtii crypt, dwarf sag subulata
10g Fauna: African clawed frog, otto catfish
Flora: no swords, LOL, java moss, windelov, pennywort
I obviously like my sword plants and didn't realize I had that many until I started to write it down on here. I have been in the process of moving tanks around and making my living room into a show room of sorts. I plan to have my two saltwater tanks, 90g and 55g fw tanks, an additional 30g planted tank, and a 55g paludarium into the mix as well. It will be a lot of work, but I have all the tanks and most of the equipment to do all of this, just need the time now.
I have been keeping fish for over ten years and one of the 29g and the 55g have been running for that span, I just recently got MTS(in the past year or so) and am starting to fill my house with tanks. I even have plans for one in the bathroom if you can imagine. Just a small fancy guppy tank, but I am addicted.
Thanks for reading my long post and as a bonus for getting this far, I will leave you with some recent pictures.
