'Only' 14...

Anyone else?

Was hoping to see more of what everyone kept but its been really quiet here lately. I did edit my fish list because I am making some stock changes.

Anyone else want to share what they are raising?

Well, I'll go even though I don't have an impressive list...

26Gallons, 1 figure 8 puffer
5Gallons, Snail farm
1Gallon, Daughter's Beta

It takes me close to 2 hours to clean these... can't imagine how to take care of 14tanks!!!

14 is not an impressive list, it is just nuts... about 7-8 hours on waterchange day.

As much as I'd love to participate in this thread, I just have too many fish to post.
I did have a great day at the fish swap today, adding to my collection:

L239 (Blue panaque) One of my faves!
L75 (Orange Flame Pleco)
L14 (Sunshine pleco)
L30 (Peppermint pleco)
5 Longfin Cories
3 Green Laser cories
5 Longfin Green Dragon plecos (giving away 2)
In addition, Filbert is crunching on the 300 snails I got him.

Forgot 2 more:
L90 ( (Mosaic Royal panaque)
L 241 (Vampire pleco)

You love your plecos don't you PP

Ya think??? I've got about 30-40 more. I rarely see most of them...

29g
Green spotted
Violet goby
4 nerites (currently breeding providing snacks for gsp)

20g that is housed inside of a 60's era zenith tv cabinet
4 dwarf puffers (heavily planted and very happy)
3 zebra danios
Ancistras pleco
Rose goby

15g column
Pond and ramshorn
Fire red sakura x5
Sunkist sakura ×8

None! Never restocked the 40 when I lost my little GSP, and, since I'm gonna have to move soon I'm just going to tear it down. Once I buy a house of my own, expect me to show back up with something big. Real big.
