varanidguy Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hello everyone! My name is Shane and I currently reside in Apple Valley California, hoping to relocate to Arizona within the next year or so. I currently only have a 40 breeder, 75 gallon, and a hospital/quarantine tank that ironically has a thriving colony of cherry shrimp in it, the shrimp tend to get shared with friends who want them. All is planted, even the quarantine tank. I've recently had a bout of no motivation-itis but hoping to get some major maintenance done and cure that. The 75 has rainbows and the 40 is mostly Central and South American, but I'm not super strict with it. Active forums are exciting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some community fish that deserve an upgrade...Angels, Cupid Cichlids, tetras...nothing super special, but I love giving them a better home. And its fun for me to set up a new tank. 🙂 What tanks do you have? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure all the wet pets will really appreciate the upgrade. Currently a 40 breeder, 75, and a 10 gallon quarantine/hospital/holding/whatever tank lol. The 40 breeder has rummy nose, ember, and black neon tetras, a pair of peacock gudgeons, panda cories, an apistogramma cacatuoides super red, otos, and various invertebrates. The 75 has parkinsoni rainbows, dwarf neon rainbows, and panda garras, the quarantine tank currently houses a lonely clouded archer fish intended for the 75 and some neocaridina that it's actually ignoring.

Wow! Quite an assortment! I do want to put a large school of Corys in the 110, I've never seen their behavior in a huge group of around 20.
