govsfabshop Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Hey all, first time forum user, long time coop buyer!! I'm Paul from thornton colorado. Currently running a planted 40 breeder with some Cory's, red serpae tetras, Scissortail rasboras, a pair of blue flame dwarf gouramis and a raphael cat(for now). There's also a 55gal brackish tank that's housing Cheeto, cheeto is a beautiful ceylon puffer I adopted from the father in law(who has all sorts of cool tanks and fish). Cheeto decided to go on a killing rampage of the very large monos he was in a tank with one day so I brought him in to give brackish a try. Looking to setup an awkward 55gal tall tank I just acquired, not sure what my plans are for that yet, and there's also a 125gal that will more than likely be a grow out tank of sorts once we move! Oh and there is a 3.5 gal on the kitchen counter with a very long fin betta that is the laziest fish I've ever seen! He was in my 10gal med tank for awhile and just didn't do great, moved him into the 3.5 and he started living his best betta life. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Hi Paul. Welcome to the forum. I’m Kerry. Your tanks sound very interesting. I’ve never heard of anyone setting up a 125g tank as a grow out. I’m looking forward to seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govsfabshop Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Thanks Kerry, the 125 was a freebie from a fish store closing we cleaned out, i've tried everything to get the glass polished but it will just never be a display tank. Planning on just putting it in the basement and it might become a catch all/rescue tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schuyler Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Welcome to the forum Denver is a beautiful area. I lived down in Parker for an internship. What's your water like there? I imagine it's pretty hard. I know it's really hard in Colorado Spring with all the fluoride and stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hey! Welcome! I’m Vicki, a floundering newbie with two tanks that are finally (knock on wood) both keeping fish alive and (mostly) growing the plants I put in them. It’s nice to meet another Denver area coop member! I’m in Aurora, so we’re not too far apart. I will say that my tanks are nowhere as pretty as yours, and neither are looking the way I want them to right now - so no pictures. We’ll get there, though. Anyway, it’s great to have you in the forum. You’ll find it’s a great group! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
