Freshmikes Tanks

...and the second 45 gallon.

The keeper of the parents of most of my babies, has demasoni, hybrid yellows, yo-yo loaches, zebra loaches. red tailed black shark and a L-001 pleco.

Aquaclear 500 (soon emperor 400) and ebo-jager 175 watt.

This is my favorite tank at the moment...it's just so active and the fish are awesome!

My 50 gallon. Soon I want to treat these little buddies to a new tank, thinking a 125 gallon, just have to decide where I want to put it....probably outside, seeing as there just isn't anymore room in here

In this tank are mainano, mpanga, acei, msobo, saulosi, polit, crown roaches, flying foxes and a sailfin pleco

Aquaclear 500 (soon to be emperor 400 also) and ebo jager 200 watt.

Next is the 90, the bringer of the sickness

This was my first "big" tank after only having a ten gallon for a few years and then upgrading to a 20 for the next couple of years....
I also like to refer to this tank as the hostile, due to how many fish have been moved in and out of it, the only ones that have stayed throughout it all are the O.B.'s and they will never leave!

In this tank are the O.B.'s of course (some full grown babies as well) Yellows, ruby red peacocks, perlmutts, tiger loaches, yo-yo loaches, sailfin plecos, clown plecos and a cuckoo cat that was given to me by a friend.

Aquaclear 500, Fluval 404 and ebo-jager 250 watt. 8)

.....last but definately not least.....the monster of the house....my 180 gallon.


I sold my 1977 Corvette to buy this thing....need I say more? heh heh

As with many of the other tanks, I built the stand for this one, looked around at stands at stores, from the iron ones to the full out wood ones and decided they either looked too flimsy or were just way too much money for what they were worth, so for half the price of buying an iron stand I built a full out 200 lb wood one, can't see it in the pic, but I am sure you have seen it at one point in time
This tank is by far the baby of the house, not my favorite at the moment due to the stress it has given me in the past while....(fronts beating the heck out of each other) but I love it all the same....

In this tank are 7 kigoma frontosa, 5 burundi frontosa, 2 fryeri, 5 Aulonocara hansbaenschi, Julidichromis marlieri, leleupi, Savoryi, crown roaches, cuckoo cats (3), queen arabesque plecos, gold nugget plecos, king tiger pleco, tiger pleco, royal panaque and the cleaning crue (yes crue) the sailfin plecos...

Fluval 404 x 2 Powerhead 802 (no media) and ebo-jager 250 watt x 2.

Wow.......fish must consume a HUGE part of your life!! You have many tanks, all clean I must say........how do you do it?? Honestly...woah....I have a hard time keeping 2 tanks clean and fed and my 2 kids clean and fed and my 2 dogs fed - Clean?? Ya right! - Oh, ya and my 3 cats but they are pretty clean themselves.
