Fishy Ambition?

[Flubberlump]

Does anyone have a particular goal in mind that they'd like to reach one day in the wonderful world of fish keeping? I've been thinking about this over the last few days. One day, I'd like to have a room dedicated to this hobby, with lots of different tanks housing different fish. I'd like:

A few different community tanks housing a variety of different fish: khulies, corys, plecos, tetras, platys, mollies, swordtails, rasboras, danios etc. The usual suspects.
A puffer tank or two.
Cichlids.
A biggish betta tank with a shoal of small tetras.
Discus.
Various shrimp in and around the place.
The list goes on haha. I may even try my hand at a marine tank one day. They'd all be properly aquascaped too!

I'm aware that having so many different types of fish, with different needs, in a lot of tanks, would be very time consuming, and costly, but I think it would be so worth it to be able to sit in there on an evening after work and watch them. What better way to relax after a hard day? I'd get a lovely big comfy chair to flake out in, and just sit and watch them all.

Anyone else got any ambitions?

Haha. If you ever achieve that, let me know, I'd be interested to see it!

Aww that's sad I've only ever managed 3. But that's in a community tank so the eggs don't stand much chance. It would help if they hid them better though!

I would like to have a crack at breeding discus in the future, then in the distant future i would like to try marine tanks.

One day I'd like to have a tank big enough to keep a nice shoal of denisonii barbs

 

[MBOU]

Ahhh i've done all the fishrooms and millions of tanks and millions of different species from arrowanas and stingrays to koi and fancy goldfish, from teras and danios to discus and angels... sorubim limias and great big L number plecs...

Tropical, coldwater, brackish and marine. Planted and rivererine, big tanks and picos.... been there and done that, even if not kept for too long.

At the moment i have 4 tanks on the go at work, two coldwater Fluval Chi (one of each size), a Fluval Spec and a Kent Marine Bio Reef 94 and soon to be a heavily planted tank.

I dont have any tanks at home as I am living temporarily with my parents again (sigh!) but when i do have tanks, they will definately be biotope or species specific.

Like in my signature, i really want a tank for a peacock mantis shrimp, a larger marine tank for native british species (anemones, crabs, gobies etc) and I would really like seahorses again but to do it properly and breed them. Want a less common species than kuda or reidii. I like the Zebra Snout Seahorses... and pipefish, i love pipefish too so.. hrumph...

one day id like a 200 litre tank, that's about it, one tank looking nice in the front room is plenty for me

 

[fishypps]

I'd just like a tank bigger than my teeny tiny 50 litre one... big enough to have some bigger fishies in because we are quite limited by size! Oh and i would love a marine tank but i doubt we will ever get that far!

 

[mark2109111]

I would like to breed motoro stingrays Not out of my financial reach but without my parents consent on the custom 500 im afraid it will have to wait until i graduate high school and move out sigh

 

[Three Ring Circus]

I would love for my oscars to breed but sadly i think i have two males or two females.

 

[Fishy friend2]

I would love to successfully breed Betta falx, splendens, or imbellis and maybe even start a new line of guppies
