It even came with one of those silly little dragons.

I will get the stock list and sizing posted later. Once I figure out how these sponge filters work... :(

Ok I have the numbers:
1) 30 Gal
2) 20 gal (tall)
3 units of 5 gals
and a 2.5 gal.

All inclusive with fish etc.. $180 a bargain for that super rare dragon :P

Stock list:
best guess is about 200 guppies (maybe more because they are in 5 of the 6 tanks and there is a lot of fry)
4~5 FW muscles (big score there)
100+ ramshorns
6 large apple snails? (really BIG snails)
30+ assassain snails
1 siamese algae eater (very large)
2 male beta

Are the assasin snails in the same tank with the rest?

no they are in their own tank with a few of the HUGE ones. They don't touch the bug one but they are breeding, so I will separate them eventually.

I'm thinking of doing species only invert tanks. Combo snails + shrimp. Maybe a different pairing in each...

That would be cool and im sure you will keep us updated lol. I live vicariously through your huge tank and i guess ill be doing the same with your invert tank. Is it possible to breed the freshwater clams? That would be awesome if you can.

I have no idea... I know they need a sand bed (which they don't have at the moment).

I could get some FW muscles from our local lake but I was informed that most are an endangered species...

Oh cool. :D I've always had a soft spot for livebearers.

Beautiful pic by the way.

these tanks are going to need a complete make over. Too much fake stuff in there.
