Time for another update, which I do every year or so. I figured I may as well do this before I add any more tanks,as it will be difficult to get anything more than close-ups in my small fishroom.
This is the view from the couch, sitting in the family room;
In this picture the door is on the left, from the left brine shrimp hatchery on the wall above a storage cabinet (you can see the brine shrimp settling while I mess with the camera), 15 gallon above a couple of 10’s, 20 above a 29, and a couple of 29’s. These are mainly growout tanks for fry, or pairing tanks for pre-adults;
The rest of the 29’s, with a 15 & a 20 down low;
On the top of this one is a 55, middle rack is a 20 & some 2.5’s. I use the 20’s for breeders, 2.5’s for hatching. The 55 is for potential breeders;
Bottom of that rack, a couple of 20’s with pairs. The blacks in the left tank are spawning;
A couple of 20’s above a 55, the 20’s have pairs, the 55 is potential breeders. I like to use those top 20’s for pairs that are slow to spawn, or new things I am trying to breed, as they are furthest away from any commotion;
These are a pair of 150 gallon tubs I use for final growout. I have five 40 gallon tanks out in the garage waiting for me to build a rack above these tubs. Once I set those up I’ll have a hard time getting unobstructed shots of the fishroom, my goal is to shoehorn as many gallons into a 8’x16’ room as possible. My aquarist friends all laugh at me, I had better not gain any weight or I won’t fit in there;
Look at all that room up there! 200 more gallons & a fry hatchery, no problem!
Hope everyone enjoys, I’ll get pics of the 40’s once those get set up.
