hi guys,just interested about how many tanks most of you have?

Thanks for sharing Punkineater, I would say you are the luckiest of us all. You get to take care of other tanks which means that you get paid by doing it and take care of a variety of fish. No wonder you don't want to set up a tank at home. Who would want to when you have all the fish you can have? Plus you get paid! I find myself broke and looking for deals on plants all the time.lol

Come on Ganal, can the models share some tank room? lol Maybe have the tank and the model inside them? It would be a win win situation. Just kidding. I am glad to see that at such a young age you really like fish. I am 25 and just started, but I hope one day to have a pond such as yourself. Maybe...too many tanks I want to set up...What have I got myself into?

Happy fish keeping to both of you. Glad to see your posts here!

Hi! lol You remember that! lol

lanab take out that TV and couch place the aquariums there! I am sure you will find more room in your closet! You don't need room to put your clothes in just the tanks :) lol Teasing you. I know I don't have any room either. I am thinking about having the aquariums inside the walls now. lol

I have 5 tanks and just started this year. I will actually complete my first year of fish keeping in 2014. Yes I still want more tanks because there are so many kind of fish! However, this hobby is not cheap and I am going broke! lol

5.5g planted tank with one Betta one mystery snail

10g with my rescue Crown tail Betta and an Ivory Mystery snail

75g tank with one Female Oscar Edit: recently switched over to white sand and she loves it!

55g tank with two fancy Goldfish

20 high gallon tank currently under work. Planning to have my first community tank of Cardinal tetras in a planted tank... maybe...

My back yard is dominated by our family's Russian Tortoise! I just though I mention him since he takes over our house and back yard. lol

Glad you are liking your fish and aquarium Billy. Happy fish keeping. To the rest of you guys good for you! Lets all join the madness! My family tells me to live in an aquarium. lol

MTS has been on and off for me but been in the hobby for almost 25 years in total with a 6 year break in between about 15 years ago (due to academic commitments)

Currently only have 2 tanks and a pond (excluding temporary and Q tanks) of which one is a Saltwater reef (total volume about 470L ~ 120 Gallons) and a Freshwater Predator Prey community (total volume 900L or 230 Gallons).

The Reef is mainly soft corals but 2 anemones and a few hard corals LPS and 1 Montipora.

The Freshwater is a high tech planted with CO2 injection mainly amazonian theme but drifting away from it a bit in terms of plants and fish since the vallis and swords just turned the tank into a jungle. Fish range from 1.5" rams to Discus and Angels to 16" Arowana.

There was a time when I had 8 tanks (extreem MTS) but then I got married lol. Have kept cichlid tanks, Breeding tanks, Predator tanks, Killifish, General community, Betta breeders, Planted, Walstad concept (zero maintenance), to column tanks and table aquariums and paludariums.

Pond is a 5000L 1300 Gallons with Koi and Comet Goldfish.

Have another 3 tanks sitting in the garage doing nothing. I use some of them for emergency Quarantine or in hope of being allowed just one another tank in the house :)

I've got 2 20 gallon tanks and a 2000 gallon pond (not a tank but has fish in it). I've also got 4 more fish tanks but they don't have fish and one is empty. Each 20 gallon tank has a betta, either male or female guppies and endlers and one tank has a single oto (I unfortunately had a couple die a while ago and haven't had the time or money to replace them). Both 20 gallon tanks have a piece of drift wood, black gravel and a ton of live plants. The pond has 16 goldfish and a couple of koi.

I've been keeping fish for around 15 years (I'm 23) I had another couple of bettas when I was younger but no longer have them or their tanks. Our pond is 10 years old. One of my tanks has been set up for about 2 years though it started out as a 10 gallon tank. The other has only been up for a month or so due to my guppies breeding so much. I'd love to upgrade the 20 gallons tank to 40+ gallons but finding space in my room is a problem. I build models and their shelves take up the majority of my room.

Right now, I have 17 running, including 3 saltwater reef tanks, but keep some others in my garage for when I have more time. Tank sizes range from 5-55 gallons. I breed bristlenose plecos and cherry shrimp for sale to local pet stores, so some of these are just for growing out fry. Others are for oddball species, that I keep, usually as a species tank, or with just 2-3 species in the tank. Some of the fish I have are Apistogrammas, wild-type bettas, a sailfin pleco, kuhli loaches, threadfin rainbows, halfbeaks, Skiffia francesae (a livebearer that's extinct in the wild), several types of corals, snails, and shrimp. Eleven of the current tanks are planted.

I'm a definite MTS sufferer.

Ignore the 1 inch per gallon thing. It's way too general. I don't know what kind of cories and pleco you have, but either way the tank is too small and your cories should be in a group of 4 at least. If you upgrade to 55 gallon and get 2 more cories, your fish will be much happier and probably swim around more. However, in a larger tank, you might want to get a slightly larger filter.

I have 8 aquariums, all 30 gallons and under. My husband has 6 aquariums and a pond, all 30 gallons and over.

I own 30 guppies and 8 bettas, my husband owns 2 "monster fish" called Dovies, 3 oscars, a few african cichlids, a few texas cichlids, some obies, 3 jack demsys and an assortment of platys he rescued from someone who hadn't done a water change in the tanks entire lifetime and insisted they were Neon Tetras. -.- Most of his tanks are appropriately huge for these species and take up the entire garage. I have a rack system in my office. :)

I have six tanks

2 .40 gallon Breeder tanks for my Angel fish and there fry

1 45 gallon community tank

1 55 gallon community tank

1 125 Tank with a Tiger Oscar

1 180 gallon Reef tank

1 300 Gallon Tank with Angel fish Severum corys a Krib Australian Red rainbows Golden Barbs Honey Gourami Firemouth and a Bristle nose .

I've got 4 aquariums of my own and an empty 55 :D I got a:

20G with a pair of GBR and a shoal of glow light tetra

29G with nothing in it currently and the cycle's already done but, can't make up my mind of what way i should stock it.

40G with nothing in it (a pair of angels I had passed away)

75G with an Oscar

Which when I talk to people about my hobby they often look at me as a (beginner) because I'm only 15, which I've been keeping cichlids for quite a while but, when someone needs advice on stuff like keeping cichlids, or situating tank stocks, or even setting up aquariums (Brackish, saltwater, ETC.) and measuring proper water parameters, I'm usually the one they'd look too. But, welcome to the hobby It's a pretty cool hobby to be in :D

I started out with a ten gallon tank and a few guppies when I was a kid(about 22 years ago or so)...For many years that was about it for my interest, though mainly due to the fact, as a kid, I couldn't pay for very much. Though my aunt usually had a larger tank or two with other types of fish(she kept mollies, gourami's and angelfish in her tanks, not together on the angels though!). About five years ago I got interested in the hobby fully when I got the money for my...obsession. So I suppose about five years. I was never huge on the decorating part though...nothing specific anyways until my endlers tank, I just never thought much looked good aside from plants since I like it to look more...natural I suppose, but lately I have seen a lot of work on others parts and was very impressed with some. It's all nicely settled plants and wood in my tank, tried to make things look like a natural little oasis for them.

Currently I have two ten gallons: One has four male guppies(lost one of my old men who was about five years old yesterday! =( ) and zebra nerite snails. The other has five male Black Bar Endlers with pink Ramshorn snails. My endlers tank is set up with black sand, a piece of driftwood and masses of mosses and stem plants(with one small anubias in the center) with a...very out of place orange vase hiding spot my grandma forced on me. >< Ruined the look a bit, but it's a lovely tank anyways.

I also have three twenty gallon tanks, one is a nursery tank full of livebearer babies and a rescued common pleco who is just a baby right now, waiting for him to get bigger before he goes to the big tank.

One is a Quarantine tank with nothing in it at the moment.

And the third one has a pair of German Blue rams, I also put in some juvenile platies with them until they can go to the big tank or a new home here and there so it doesn't look empty and so my pair can breed as they like without worrying they'll be pestered. All of these smaller tanks have Malaysian Trumpet Snails, Nerites, mystery or ramshorn snails to keep algae at bay, not that it's a problem in the nursery since the kids love the stuff.

I also have two 55 gallon tanks. One has platies, mollies and swordtails, as well as a male and female three-spot gourami(one gold and one blue) and a pair of rubber-lip plecos.

The other 55 has neon and cardinal tetras, seven of each. Currently debating on algae eaters and possibly another group of peaceful tetras. Also have a pair of German Blue Rams with them.

And I have six five gallon tanks, all with a single male betta in them and some Nerite or ramshorn snails. I used to have a female sorority of betta in one of my twenty gallons, but after one female died, it literally went to pieces and I had to sell them before they killed each other, one unfortunately didn't survive her tail being removed. =( I don't think I'll do a female sorority again, it's a lot of work to do it in the first place, and if something happens to one girl, you risk the whole group getting into it. Well, in my case I think she was the main dominant one is all.

Yes, soon as I could afford to get tanks and care for everything...I got Multiple Tank Syndrome. Which is less of a problem than New Tank Syndrome where you get a tank and can't decide what to do with it and you want everything. I am hoping to have a 75 gallon or three within a year. =D

And of course one day I'll probably go larger and get more than the types of fish I have, but for now my tastes are what I got and I love it.

One day I hope to get a 100+ gallon tank and have myself some Dinosaur Bichirs. They're just so cool. :3

All of my tanks are densely planted with live plants and driftwood. Nothing too special, but they do look pretty good. Most have sand, one 55, 5 and 20 have gravel substrate which will eventually be sand once I have another large tank set up and cycled so I can move everyone over for the change. I looove how things look with a bunch of plants and "Sticks" in there and the fish just going about their way having fun.

*ADD* Edited a few things. I add too many unneeded words when I'm tired. ^^;

I've also become quite the fanatic when it comes to plants! I just can't stand a tank without them for some reason. I got lucky when I started with plants, just picked random ones(it was all anubias and stem plants) and they all blossomed wonderfully and then I got obsessed with them as I am with fish.

ahhh, at the moment I only have one 50 gallon tank at my brothers business, and all my other tanks are in a storage unit or I sold them.

for about 10-15 years I serviced large saltwater aquariums from 100 to 2,000 gallon, and had a 6 tank system at home for holding and quarantining new fish for my customers tanks.

I haven't had a personal aquarium in years because when you maintain a dozen or so a week you don't really want to come home and do more tank maintenance.

good luck with your tank.

Currently running 5 tanks:

55 gallon African cichlid tank

55 gallon American cichlid tank

30 gallon tank with live plants and a bushy nose pleco, zebra pleco, and a hifin pleco.

20 gallon tank with fancy guppies

10 gallon tank with live plants and a vanilla lobster and a blue lobster

been running tanks for about 10 years and yes, very addictive.
