Here they are, my 12 tanks. There is going to be a bit of a move-around coming soon, so things will change again.
Pictures are here
They are not the best pics, and some are a little outdated, but just to give you an idea on what I got.
This is the rundown on all the tanks.
Living room
Juwel Rio 180 - tropical community with platies, guppies, harlequin rasboras, cories, bn plecs, a pair of dwarf gouramis and various others. The pic was before a major pruning sessions, plants grow like crazy in that tank.
Juwel Rio 125 - Central American tank with sajicas and rainbow cichlids. This will be a marine tank soon, fish will be rehomed to the shelldweller tank. It's in a state at the moment, I'm just doing weekly water changes and that piece of wood is just rubbish.
Fluval Roma 125 - South American tank with a pair of blue rams as centrepiece fish who spawn weekly, but no survivors yet due to a naughty plec, neon tetras, ember tetras and otos.
Cube tank 70 l - pair of kribensis who just had babies, they are free swimming and growing nicely. Some pygmy cories and a female betta. I call this my oddball tank.
Kitchen
Juwel Vision 260 - Malawi tank. I am waiting for a cabinet to be built, as I got a Rio 450 waiting to be used for those fish. Can't wait to upgrade, should be ready soon. They will love their new huge home. In the bespoke cabinet will be a space for the Clearseal 3ft tank which houses the malawi fry. They are currently on the kitchen worktop as seen on the picture. Can't wait to have my space back. (so that's two tanks described here, in case you are counting)
Arc 35 l - Dwarf puffer tank. Two of them with three ghost shrimps, living happily together.
Cube 25 l - Betta tank. Barry has lived there happily for many months.
Fishwave 15 l - Latest addition, the pico marine tank. Just got my first coral and I love watching it move. Got the tank as a freebie for subscribing to the Practical Fishkeeping magazine, great little tank. Only a few sexy shrimp and crabs will go into this tank and loads of coral.
Master bedroom
Clearseal 3ft tank - the shelldweller tank. They are as boring as hell, so will be rehomed and the central American fish will go there so I can make the Juwel Rio 125 a marine tank.
DS' bedroom
Tiny kids tank with some endlers. I allowed him silly ornaments for this one. It might go soon, as he wants turtles now and I am actually quite interested in that, so he might have an upgrade soon.
School
Fishbox 64 - small community. This tank is in my classroom. My pupils love it and my form group is so proud to be in the coolest tutor group with a fish tank.
Then there are currently two empty 2.5 ft clearseal tank. Not sure what to do yet, prob one for the turtles if I decide to go for them, the other might be a breeder tank as the blue rams simply don't get a chance to raise their fry.
Hope you like them, but yeah the pics don't do them justice. Will try and get pics of the best pics at some points if you like.
