MY NEW FISHROOM..

[ste12000]

Hi all, i have finally decided to get all my tanks together and in one place. I have used my existing brick shed and have insulated and boarded it, painted and put a floor in. The final result looks pretty cool….

Wow, that looks fantastic. I’d love to have the space to set up a fish room, but since I live in forces accomodation and move every few years, it’s not very practacle! ONe day I’ll have my own place, until then I’ll just have to dream!

Thanks Katkin. I decided to take the plunge when i had tanks in every room and bubbling baby brineshrimp everywhere. This rack of tanks only takes up a 6×4 ft space. I am still running out of room and its only been running for a week ….. I still have the other half to convert (6x6ft) :lol: :lol: Just dont tell the missus.
Ha ha, she is glad of the peace and quiet now, we have also found out that we are expecting another baby so this is my new hiding place lol.

Right deep breath…
1 breeding pair of Discus (eat their eggs)
1 breeding pair of Pelvicachromis Taeniatus (Bipindi) (No fry yet)
1 breeding pair of Nannacara Anomala
30 Juvinile Anomala’s
8 breeding Apistogramma Borelli
80+ Apisto Borelli fry
1 Female Ram (male jumped from the tank)
180 Juvinile Rams from 2 seperate spawns.
4 Featherfin Rainbows (not tryed to breed them yet)
10 Corydoras Sterbai
2 Corydoras Panda
30 Golden pencilfish (Adults and juviniles)
7 Glowlight Danios
100 Glowlight danio fry
Glowlight tetras + eggs
20 Neon tetras (home bred)
14 Rummynose Tetras
8 Columbian tetras (One of my favourites and had these for 7 years now)
1 breeding pair of Bristlenose plecs
5 Leopard danios
150 Leopard danio fry
10 Celestial pearl danios (spawned today so fingers crossed )
1 pair of cherry barbs + 100 eggs
8 Otocinclus catfish ( these are a future breeding project and are being treated nice as we speak)
1 sexed pair of Twig catfish (Farlowella sp) Another breeding project for the future
And last but not least about 150.000.000 endlers that seem to live in every tank and spread like the plague. They get in tanks that you have no plans to stock them in, i think they get caught up in nets and hey presto 1 female turns into 20 within weeks.Good job i love em….

Well iv shocked myself :o i did’nt realise i had so many fish!!! I did warn everyone i was a fish geek :wink: Lol.
These are spread between….
A 180 Jewel rio discus display tank
140litre Aqua one 620t
90 litre growing on tank
30 litre planted tank
And now 10.. 18x12x12 (35 litre) Bottom and middle shelf
And also 5 16x8x8 spawning tanks on the top shelf.
I have room for 2 more tanks on the top shelf and i think i will need them soon.
