Well the fish house is now more or less complete and is up and running with all the tanks from the old fish room moved in and various fish upgraded to larger quarters so i thought it was time for a new picture thread.


The first view as you open the door

going around to the left takes you through an alley of tanks into the main area

rack with a 80g tank which houses a Cephalosiluris folweleri and a 60 tank which houses a small spotted shovelnose and an even smaller south american lungfish

200 gallon tank with various oddballs and catfish, beneath is a space which will eventually hold a 60x32x14" tank for the electric eel

180 gallon tank with a jardini arowana and various bichirs

Fantastic fish house.

I'm so jealous of your setup.

I reckon if I had a setup like that I'd spend more time in there than in the house with the wife and kids (actually there's an idea :lol: )

So how much time do you anticipate spending in there on the average week?
 
bottom row of small tanks beneath the 180 which house my smaller species like Exodons and sanchezi pirahna, above you can see the 80g electric eel tank

central rack which hold two 80g tanks (one is being repaired) and a 55 gallon on the top row and three 30g tanks on the bottom

Cane you can drop the eel over next weekend if you like, or any weekday evening between 6 and 8pm if thats easier.

and now for some close ups of the stars of the fish house

The Cephalosiluris folweri looks awesome

I get most of my fish from Wildwoods these days and a few from Dan at Tropical Imports, plus the odd fish here and there from other people.
 
LMFAO at the eel eyeing up his next meal

tanks look tip top thinking of converting my garage into a fish house and move in




cheers dane
