TFR- The Fish Room

[Aquatictimes]

My fish room is always changing and evolving. I now have 9 tanks and 1 pond but here are my fav five at the moment. I have a 40 gallon axolotl tank to the left and a 90 gallon pond to the right including another 5 and 3 gallon upstairs and a 20 gallon Long downstairs that needs scaped. 

So far in my fish room I have:

Otocinclus Catfish

Bronze Corydoras

Sterbi Corydoras

Fancy Goldfish

Mystery Snails

Endlers

Pea Puffer

Neocardina Shrimp

Mollies

Ghost Shrimp

I feel like I am missing something but will only remember after I post this. 

Let me know what you think and enjoy!

Nice! Mine is always evolving too. I’m just switching to Racks like that. Did you waterproof the shelves?

I have a 77 inch wide Galdiator Rack being delivered today! 
And your pond looks a lot better then my big rubber totes! Now I’m gonna have to do something about that.

@ScottieB Yes we stained and water proofed the boards before installing them on the rack. The pond we used to take in an out each summer until the liner broke on our first one after only 2 years so we decided to add it as a permanant placement in the fish room and I think the Fancies are much happier because of it. 

Good luck with your shelf let me know how it turns out.

Happy Heart Day from Our Fish Room to yours! ❤️

So this Fish Room Friday cleaning and Maintenance I hope to add sand to the bottom of my pond. First of all I think Toothless my telescope Moor will really enjoy sifting through it and give her enrichment throughout the day. Secondly I noticed that it is very hard to see my fish and take nice pictures with a black backdrop. Now that the pond is staying inside permanently I thought it was time to spruce it up. I feel like we have done sand before and I took it out because of how dirty it got. What are your recommendations with goldfish and sand?  I also know my three are HIGHLY destructive with plants. Every planted tank I have put them in they have destroyed within days. Typical goldfish behavior for you. But with the sand could I put in some annubius and the stone planters from aquarium co op do you think? I am hitting up our LFS tomorrow to buy other plants for the tanks and am hoping that they water hyacinths are available to put on top but if not I may get some other floaters or bamboo to spruce up the pond. 
 

Any ideas how I can upgrade the pond?

Tonight on Fish Maintenance Friday I have plans to rescape, just a little, the 10 gallon tank, capture more endlers out out the 40 gallon to lower the overwhelming population, completely take apart the five gallon that is an overwhelming jungle of aquatic plants with no structure and of of course water changes/filter changes for the tanks.  So, another 6 hour night you think?

Here’s a before photo of the 5 gallon for reference 

Along with the 10 gallon before rescaping tonight. As well as momma and baby Otocinclus

All right you saw the before photos I spent all day aquascaping a bunch of my tanks. I may still change the 10 gallon up a little because my moss tree I put in is behind the huge Amazon swords and hard to see so I’m thinking of bringing it to the front. Let me know what you think. All in a days 8 hour shift in the fish room!
