Start smallest to biggest? Ok.

This is 7 gallon...bowfront, to impress all the bowfront people, I know, it's insanely big for a bowfront, but they said the glass would still hold. :p

Occupants are fry, of the cichlid variety and my 2 remaining L-128's, one passed, poor feller. Gonna get more soon though, I think...they have become my favorite pleco, they are beautiful AND seem to be cleaning their own tank. Still don't see how that is possible, but...BONUS!

Next up is the 33 gallon. I have 2 left, only one here...kinda gave one to my cousin. Aren't I nice? :hey: Has very nice aragonite substrate, just waiting for some fun loving gravel digging cichlid friends to mess it up...still no occupants though. First time I have ever had a tank I didn't know what to do with. :lol: Don't mind the bed and such, it is sort of acting as a headboard for it.....and I am working with VERY limited room here. :nod:

Next in line...the 45 gallon. "The Livingroom Tank" Had a fair bit of conversation with my aunt (owns the condo) about which tank was going to go in the livingroom...she said the 180, I said the 45. I have so much livingroom stuff already that the 180 would have made the room almost impossible to enter....I won. :flex: Anyway, here is the home of Kyle and his crew....a few fish are named in here as well, thanks to Adrian, my cousin. There is Tom (Cruise), Nicole (Kidman), Penelope (Cruz) and Kim The Cocktail Waitress, don't ask me where he got that one from -_- ...anyway, those are the offspring of Sammy, my late, VERY loved electric blue fryeri and Jub-Jub, the bestest female fish in the world, should go in the books for fertility over-achievement. Occupants are Kyle and his crew, 4 fryeri, 2 questionable peacocks (possibly Rubins), 4 fryeri, an albino marbled sailfin, chocolate pleco, 2 gold loaches and 3 queen botia.

Last, and of course, BEST OF ALL, is the 180. Comfortably nestled in the corner of my bedroom (not taking up much room at all :rolleyes: ) This tank is definitely THE TANK I never want to have to move again. I am only glad it was empty for a while so I could get a chance to lay inside of it again....along with anyone who came over....weirdos. :rolleyes:

Still can't believe how much this stupid thing weighs, next unbelievable thing, I can't believe I can lift it! So tuff. :flex: :flex: :flex: Anyway, this is my favorite tank and there was NO WAY I was selling it, so many offers and so many "no's"
I think the best fun of moving this tank for me was the fact that I packed all the rocks in boxes and made other people carry them. Not only am I TUFF :flex: :flex: :flex: BUT I am smart too. :p So funny.


Aaaaaaaanyway, the occupants of this tank are...*pants* *thinks* 2 hybrids, 9 Caeruleus, 7 Maingano, 4 Msobo, 12 Demasoni, 2 Saulosi, 5 Afra, 1 Polit (THE MAN), 1 Perlmutt, 3 Acei, 2 fryeri, 4 questionable peacocks (same as other tank), 7 yo-yo loaches, 2 zebra loaches, 2 HUGE other loaches (just tried to find the ID thread on corydorasworld and it isn't there :/ ) 4 sailfin plecos and a common pleco that I am sure is taking some sort of rockstar narcotics, because HE NEVER HIDES, he is always losing it all over the tank.....suppose that is what happens to you when you used to live with piranha. :lol: Thanks for reading, hope I didn't kill your eyes. :p

Oh yeah, forgot to ask to forgive all of the bettas....they are EVERYWHERE! :hyper:

Glad to see they've been moved with a little disruption as you could manage FM. Better to see they're still looking great as ever!!!

Thanks mate. I did them (moved them and set them back up) as fast as I could. They were BY FAR my priority in moving. :nod:
 
yeah, I'm really not looking forward to moving my 140 when I move next year. I feel for you with all those tanks!!! :D
 
I am just glad....and not glad that I sold most of them. Now I am just going to have to buy more when I start breeding again. :/

Oh well, Quantity= discount prices....want to do a REAL operation this time.

This province has NOTHING for cichlids. Looks like they have met their supplier of africans. :p
 
Lovely stuff FM!

Its a shame that you had to get rid of so many tanks, but at least those you have left are really nice! Do you plan on getting anymore tanks again at a later date or is this a permanent shrink...

Also, how many betta jars do you have left? :fun:

Ben
 
I plan on getting AS MANY TANKS as I can, when I have the room to do so.

Of course I will have to have a house before i can do that....although I do have a storage room that I have been eyeing up for breeding facilities....

As for bettas, I have TOO MANY! 70+ Yes, mostly in jars, but the jars have increased in size, seems like an endless hunt for the biggest jars...and is getting more difficult, because apparently, jarring season is over! :angry: Going to have to order them straight from Bernardin I guess!
 
well im about $200 dollars away from a 180 gallon, i cant wait and glad i wont have to move it for a while... :D
But yer fresh, great tanks and i love the piece of bogwood in the 180, looks very nice indeed.
 
Nice to see the tanks up and running again and looking as good if not better than ever.
My tank is taking an age to clear after moving it :/
