How to fit 20 tanks in your bedroom!

juliethegr8t · Jun 5, 2004

This, my friends, is a personal example of how one human being can keep 20 tanks of fish... all in one place! Ok.. so it's technically 19, (as one betta is downstairs)... but I'm going to have to buy two new tanks anyway for the orangies.

First - the fry tank and azoo tank. They are on top of a shelf next to the window. The only tanks on this "wall".

(I do gotta have a bed somewhere!)

Here are the "dresser bettas" - 3 falx on the left, and my super delta blue male on the right. The falx are currently seperated to give daddies a break before they have to be forced to spawn by their horny woman.

The 10 gallon, and below it, the 5.5 gallon falx fry tank. Excuse the breeding net - I am currently keeping my 2 platy babies in there to grow and fatten up a bit.

Anyways, these tanks are to the left of the ones shown in the earlier pic.

Here are the "important" tanks :hey:

... this is the main betta housing complex! :lol:

From left to right we have... top shelf - chocolate "Gimli", gold SD "El Doraldo", next shelf down - red female "Mulan", pink/blue "Montoya", next - multi-colored CT "The Dread Pirate Roberts", next - red DT "Rosso", and green "Huckleberry Fin". *pant pant* I hope I got that right...

Let's just hope I don't have an earthquake. :crazy:

This shelf is in the corner of the room, to the left of the 10 and 5.5 gallon.

Edit: I forgot to excuse myself of the Beanie Babies.

) I admit, I was one of the crazed pre-teens who couldn't get enough of them... and now who can't get rid of them. :rofl:

And now.. the one wall that is left. My room is seeming pretty small about now... :look:

Once more, this is to the left of the last shown tanks. I guess we went counter-clockwise!

From left - 6 gallon, then my DT female, then my new blue CT female, a jar with my sick green female (

), a jar of snails, my 2.5 with Captain Jack and his 2 cories, and then my blue female.

And last, but not least, the only betta that my mom let's stay downstairs. She has become a bit attached to him once he decided to stop hiding in his pot 24/7 and become my most personable fish. :wub:

He's on the kitchen counter.

Wow Julie!!! Your poor fish must be claustrophobic!!!!

Horse lover too I suppose? (I saw the horse poster) My other hobby is Horseback riding!!! (In fact I have a show tomorrow, but that's a whole different subject)
Great job!!!! :nod:

Wow Julie, I never knew you had so many tanks! They all look wonderful. :thumbs:

I love all the tanks on the bookshelf! :wub:

Oh, and I'm in the same dilemma with my old beanie babies!

Whoa!

I love the gravel in your 10 gallon tank - is it just regular store-bought blue gravel or something else? I'm changing the gravel in my tank which houses the guppies and I'm inspired now.

juliethegr8t · Jun 5, 2004

Acrobit - It's just plain store bought gravel. I really like it personally. A lot of people are more into the natural look, but I kind of went with an inbetween natural and not-so-much when doing that particular tank. It really brings out the colors in the fish, plants, etc. :nod:

Make sure to show me if you decide to go blue!

Acrobit · Jun 5, 2004

Thanks, julie! I'm not really into the natural look for this tank, there is white gravel in it right now but I think it would look 10 times better with blue. You know, I think there might be some blue gravel in the garage... :hey:

DOLORES · Jun 6, 2004

wrs · Jun 6, 2004

wow!! thats alot of bettas, i wish my mom would let me have that many in my room,lol

juliethegr8t · Jun 6, 2004

Dolores - I was wondering if anyone else would notice that picture. It's a LOTR calender, but I figured who cares about the dates, I want pics!

Yes, he's gorgeous in the movies, I quite enjoy this month's photo. :wub:

wrs - It has turned out to be quite a lot hasn't it.

) The thing is, my mom DOESN'T want me to have so many bettas, and the only reason I do is because I shove them away in my room where she doesn't seem them everyday. :rofl:
