Three species I would like to keep: Lion Fish, Arowana, and either Largemouth Bass or Green Terrors. (A black Ghost knife fish is highly considered)

Favorite Plant: Anacharis

Favorite Fish Family: Anabatiods

The thing about the lion fish to me is I love the look but don’t like the venom. I hope to get a 75

I'm quite content with my hobby at the minute, I've downgraded from 3 tanks to 1 and I'm loving how easy it is to maintain, probably 1/2 an hour a week.

But saying this I am getting itchy fingers and I'm contemplating a complete aquascape on my 35 gallon.

One day I would love to try a high-tech aquarium and find my self marvelling over the pictures of what can be created.

Yes, that is the bad thing...

I once saw one that was on sale for $25 at my LFS. I soooo wanted it. But I have no prior saltwater experience.

I would actually like to setup a nano 10g SW tank. No live rock, just a couple of clownfish. (Although, that setup would be expensive)

If I ever go SW the only things right know I’m interesting in keeping is a pair of cleaner shrimp, arrow crab, clownfish, and a watchmen goby pistol shrimp pair. And that 75 would have to wait at least 10 years

Bit early for me this question as I’m still silent cycling my first tank for 23 years but:
Scarlet Badis
Apistogramma Hongsloi
Blacktiger Dario.

Two of the three are hopefully a possibility in a years time or so in a bigger RO tank.

Scarlet Badis

Ooo! Nice choice.

 

[ClownLurch]

Ooo! Nice choice.

It’s a football thing...

I plan on setting up a paludarium in my 29g, with a big waterfall, and swampy area. Densely planted land and water areas. Cool water species downstairs: Either native Wyoming fish (plains killifish and mottled sculpins, perhaps) or South China species (a couple paradise fish, a small school of gold barbs, and a few hillstream loaches would do nicely). Firebelly toads and sagebrush lizards living upstairs.

I also really want to do a nano tank, maybe a 5-6 gallon, densely planted, with schools of blue axelrod rasboras, stone catfish, and amano shrimp.

Both of these projects are on hold until I get some other projects squared away--building a bow, training a puppy, figuring out how the heck things are going to work when we go back to school next month. But plans are underway.

Three species I would like to keep: Hillstream loaches, various native fish, paradise fish. I've kept blue axelrods before, but I'd like to try breeding them.

Favorite Plant: crypt wendtii. Honorable mentions: Amazon frogbit, crypt balansae, dwarf sagittaria, rubra lilly

Favorite Fish Family: Salmonids.

Favorite Individual Species: Pearl gourami. Honorable mentions: Blue rasboras, panda garra, black neon tetra

I’m quite happy with my fish room. Currently have 15 tanks again. (broke down 2 today). 5G’s, 10G’s, 20 G’s, 29G, 45G, 55G, and 75G. Oh, 150G pond too. No desire for anymore fish. Do want to try new plants. Right now having a lot of fun with 55G corie and neon tetra tank. Love watching the habits of the neons. Have gained a whole new respect for them. Such a beautiful, peaceful fish. I would no longer say they are a beginner fish though. Really have to watch their nutrition and keep their immune systems in top shape. Be sure your water parameters are compatible or they won’t make it long. Now the cories are just plain devilish children. Such a hoot! Oh, there is one fish I want...a lemon head oranda for my goldie tank. Now goldies are very under-rated but are smart, amazing pets.

I really like Neon Tetras as well. People always say they are "An easy beginner fish" but time has shown they are not. They are hard to keep healthy.

I would love to get more Neons in my 29g as I could get a lot more.

Have you ever kept panda cories? THey are my favorite catfish.

 

[Crispii]

What do you hope to do in the future of you keeping fish? Breed different species of fish.

Do you want more tanks? Of course!

Do you want to try new plants? If they're easy to care for, then sure.

New fish? I would like to try to keep different species of Betta.

What are 3 fish you hope you can keep in the future? Pterophyllum altum, Betta macrostoma, and Scleropages formosus.

Favorite plant that you have or hope to keep? Anubias, Bucephalandra, and Bolbitis.

And a favorite fish family? Osphronemidae and Cichlidae (South American).

And favorite individual species? Tough one for me since I love so many fish species.

I have 11 of them. Mine hide away more than the other cories do though. They are very cute!
