Seven. When no numbers appear before the species, the number is "too many to count"

20g long- female platies and fry, 2 male mollies, male guppies, mystery snail

29g -male guppy juveniles, mystery snail, will eventually house male platies as fry in 20L are divided 

20g tall-male platies, female guppies, 1 female molly, 6 otocinclus, 5 white clouds, a few yellow cherry shrimp

10g guppy fry grow out-around 40? juvenile guppies waiting to be divided as they show sex, and a few red cherry shrimp

5g guppy colony: Many ginga sulphureus guppy females and fry. I need to move them to a 10g but have been procrastinating

10g 1 male betta, mystery snail

5g QT: a fancy guppy mom, dad, two fry

Kind of 24.  Some tanks are waiting to get inhabitants because of plans to move tanks and consolidate small tanks into a fish room.

100 gallon x 2, one is an assortment of nanofish plus a mix of plecos.  Driftwood and heavily planted.  The other has wood with moss on it so far, but planning to plant and flood TOMORROW!  Finally!

75 G with a Jack Dempsey pair, a couple common plecos, and just today got a 6 pack of tiger silver dollars fresh out of QT.

29 G with pea puffers and assorted snails and Amano shrimp as clean up.

20 high with 2 orange laser cories, 3 lemon blue eyed bristlenose plecos essentially in QT.

20 long with plants and a single(?) Amano shrimp that I hope will be getting my Betta persephones tomorrow.  Another finally!

14 G cube with sapphire shrimp but will be getting hummingbird tetras in 10 days if all are still doing OK in QT.

10 G x 8, (well, technically 7 plus the emergency 12 G, but I’ll be switching that as soon as possible), one with sterbai and now trilineatus cories in QT (the trilineatus an emergency transfer after their QT sprung a leak). One has the hummingbird tetras.  One with 5 male mutt guppies and endlers that are on a mission to eradicate the Wolffia in the tank whether they know it yet, or not.  5 are plants and waiting for resets while doing the consolidation moves.

6 G cube x 2, one with sapphire shrimp and plants.  The other with plants waiting for the move.

5 G x 4 that are snail, blackworm, and a couple green water culture tanks.

2 G with plants.  Still not quite balanced since cull sapphire shrimp not yet prospering.

2 jars for scud cultures with a couple snails and floating plants for balance.  One is about 1.5 G, the other is 1 G.

Plus 2 buckets of plants.  😝 

I’ll be pulling a bunch of swords out of plant holding tanks plus empty one of the buckets of plants tomorrow when I plant the “will be an angelfish” tank.  Once that’s done, the next goal is for the remaining plants to be consolidated into as few tanks as possible and the emptied tanks will get reset as bare bottom or UGF with matten “substrate”.

I’m hoping to use pots to grow unusual Crypts and get more Buces on wood.  Plus hoping to grow shrimp in the same tanks.  If my Betta persephone decide to breed for me, some tanks will be grow outs.  I’d also like to get laser cories breeding, but I lost most of my imported group in the first few weeks so I need to get more to get breeding to happen.

Sadly, only two.

  • 10G Betta tank with 2 Nerites Snails
  • 46G Bowfront community tank with a Pleco, bunch of Cories, various tetras, two kuhli loaches, and two mystery snails.

I can't really count the 2.5G quarantine tank my son took over for his snail experiments.

However, I dream of a 75G long... *sigh* and I wouldn't mind another 10G Betta tank I would do for my for my daughter.

Very impressive that you are able to maintain 5 heavily-planted tanks. What is that plant with the big, wrinkly leaves?

5. From smallest to biggest,

A 5.5 with 20is baby mollies and baby swordtails, cherry shrimp, and a nerite snail.

A 10 gal qt with one sick molly

A 10 gal with a bn pleco, 3 juvenial platies, 3 male guppies, and 6 pigmy cories

A 20 gal with 4 mollies, a bn pleco, 1 silver tip tetra, 6 neon tetras and a juvenial red-tail shark. 

A 29 with 4 swordtails, 6 tiger barbs, two platies, 2 zebra danios, a bn pleco, an african butterfly fish, and a nerite snail.

Writing this all down, there are certainly a few questionable stocking choices; the shark will get too big for the 20, the pleco is already too big for the 10, and i should really get more danios and silver tipped tetra. For now though all these frankenstien stockings are all working out well. No deaths for a lond time and a lot of breeding.

If you are referring to the black 29 it is aponogeton bolivianus.

I have 3:

  1.  A 16 gallon with 13 male endlers, 2 nerite snails, 2 mystery snails, a hoard of yellow neos, and singleton panda cory who will be getting some friends and moving this spring to the 40 breeder.
  2. A 40 gallon breeder with ramshorn snails, trapdoor snails, a baby rubber lip pleco and a fancy goldfish who spent the winter inside for medical treatment and monitoring. When Gus the goldfish moves back outside, this will become a South American community.
  3. An outside 100 gallon stock tank aquaponics system with fancy goldfish.

4x 40 breeder: one with N. multifasciatus colony, one two pairs L333 pleco, skunk corydoras. one group wild caught leopoldi angelfish, one plant growout, but soon going to be torn down and turned into a Lake Tanganyika tank, not sure of species yet.

4x 20 high: one saltwater, live rock, frostbite clown and some hermit crabs. one colony blue tail goodeids, one with CW095 corydoras and some platinum medaka rice fish. last one with Aspidoras fuscoguttatus and some Xenotoca variatus.

an african butterfly fish

My dream fish! I had some years ago but hadn't seen them in a long time. However, I found one the other day and it took everything I had not to bring it home. Sadly, I don't have a setup that could support it but would love to do a 75G down the road and have that as the centerpiece.

3 in use, unknown number in storage at parents house...

6g - Betta tank with 2 pygmy cories, and possibly 2 amano shrimp, with low tech plants.

10g - High Tech planted aquarium, that houses a pair of F. Gardneri Makurdi Killifish.

40g Breeder - Currently has a colony of N. Multifasciatus. (Hoping to sell these and redo the tank in the next few weeks)

40g outdoor tub - Just got this a few days ago, and still trying to decide what fish to put in it.
