Thank you.
The Gar should look nice in the future pond.
Sounds like we are going to move some of the tanks to the basement first, setup a Sponge filtration system on all of the tanks using one air source, then get the pond started!
It's awesome what you are doing! My hat is off to you and like others, I am so glad there are people like you who can do these rescues! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Debbi, I really appreciate it.
Thank you! You know... not really sure... lets make a list, shall we? lolWell done!! Just one question... Exactly how many tanks do you have setup and how do you maintain them all?! Lol. I struggle with two. But great work
60-Gallon Mixed Cichlid Tank
55-Gallon Central American Cichlid Tank
55-Gallon Native Tank
55-Gallon Saltwater Tank
50-Gallon Cichlid/Catfish Tank
40-Gallon Bearded Dragon Tank
35-Gallon Community Rescue Tank
35-Gallon Rescue Tank
35-Gallon Russian Tortoise Tank
20-Gallon Cuban Knight Anole Tank
20-Gallon Mali Uromastyx Tank (Upgrading to a 35 soon)
20-Gallon Goldfish Tank
10-Gallon Carapo Knife Tank
10-Gallon African Cichlid Fry Tank
10-Gallon Angel Grow-out Tank
10-Gallon Kribensis Breeding Tank
10-Gallon Blue Ram Cichlid Breeding Tank
10-Gallon Cichlid Fry Grow-out Tank
1-Gallon Cherry Shrimp Tank
And that is all of the tanks that are setup right now. Have more that are not, but have no use at the moment.
I do water changes constantly. I am literally the only person that takes care of the tanks. My mother feeds her 55-Gallon Central American Tank, and Saltwater tank, and I do the rest. I do the water changes, setting up the tanks, treating certain fish, feeding certain fish certain things, etc. It takes time, but it's what I do.
When we moved here, that entire list started with just one 10-Gallon Tank, with a Leopard Gecko. Lost him not too long ago...
Update #15
Had some more rescues dropped off yesterday, seems how it is a little past 2:00am now. They are two Oscars (Hmm, more Oscars, go figure), and three Spotted Pictus Catfish. And the story behind them. They original owner works seven days a week, and just "doesn't have the time to give them the attention they need." So, he was taking down his 90-Gallon because of this. Got a hold of me, and I've got two more )v(onsters, lol.
The smallest has beautiful coloration, IMO. The bright orange coloring just looks great. Looks even better with a different Oscar rescue in the tank with dark orange coloring.
And the other Oscar looks great as well. Has a lump on his head, and is def. the aggressive one out of the two.
The three Pictus are now coexisting with my two original Pictus, and are fun to watch scavenge the bottom of the tank during feeding time. Then they tuck away in the rocks.
