Hi all, new to the forum, but not new to fish.
I have 4 tanks and 1 big bowl ;D
Tank 1:- 60x47x30cm planted community tank with 15 male guppies, 2 juvenile gold discus (4cms) that will be re-homed to a bigger tank when I buy it, 1 male bristle nose catfish, 1 glass catfish, 10 Glolite Tetras.
Tank 2 :- 35x35x28cm planted (kind off) with 2 x 7cm gold fish and 2 x Adult Waterhouse snails.
Tank 3 :- 50x30x30cms semi planted tank with 17 fat bellied (almost dropping) female guppies, 3 virgins and umm about 20 fry I can't catch yet.
Tank 4 :- A planted Nano, 30x24x24cms with about 100 fry.
The bowl is a 20lt glass bowl with plants I didn't really like in the tanks and snails that are well feed on algae wafers and fish food, so they leave the plants alone. We call it the captured pond
I was given all my guppies about 3 months ago and had them in the community tank, but I could no longer bare the thought of the fry being food, so I moved the girls out into their own tank, I have started trading the guppies once they color up and have been sexed to a LFS in exchange for food, plants and what ever I need and keeping the nicer males and colorful females for my pleasure.
I now need to talk the male of the family into letting me have a 5-6 foot tank. He says I have enough fish and tanks, but the bigger tank will replace the community tank and all the other fish here trade up to bigger homes, logical
OK that's my intro rave.
