How many tanks Do YOU Have

4 tanks at the moment.
1 pico
2 nano
1 3ft

 

you have serious control over your MTS lol

my wife and i have come down from 3 tanks to 2.

space is an issue lol

why is it that we can keep 1 dog ore 1 cat but one fish is never enough??

*Larch is the exception to that rule

 

8 tanks

1 x 1.2m - rainbow fish, neons, corys
3 x 3ft tanks - show guppies
2 x 2ft tanks - show guppies
1 x 1ft tank - show guppies
1 x baby tank (20L) - spare fry tank

 

1x 11L Nano :bigsmile:

 

I only have 2 (30L and 400L)...

and my wife intends on keeping it that way ,,,, :evil:

 

IMO we get emotionally attached to dogs or cats. Fish don't have the characteristics that they have. Loosing a fish is also much cheaper, easy to replace and easy to dispose of after death (Toilet)

 

i'm not so sure hehe i get pretty attached to my fish, maybe coz they so responsive... they follow you around when you walk past the tank and nuzzle your fingers and hands when youre doing gravel vacuuming etc... they know you! lol

also, some of the fish we see at lfs are pretty expensive! you can get a kitten for free most of the time, but go and buy an 18cm clown loach?? i think i've seen some large one's go for R300, and dont talk about marine fish lol 1 yellow tang - R900!!

excuse the slight hijack by the way!

 

Lol people are all different. I can't get attached to something i can't play with, cuddle with or take for walks. Fish to me is a peacefull hobby i do part time (Meaning when im not a work or....pretty much it)

Yes having exspensive fish can grow an attachment. You will insure it gets care for correctly and receives love (Treats). So yes one can become attached to a fish, to a degree. But like i said "People are ALL different":blink1:

Me too

Won't be continuing on this OT subject

 

Ahaha it is called moderation I would love to get more tanks, but that means I need to do more work and divide my attention between them and spend hours and hours maintaining them and less time admiring them and when you get to that point it is not a hobby anymore but a 2nd job. Something I would like to avoid.

 

1 840lt Malawi tank.
3 240lt Malawi tank's.
1 Marine tank.
about to start setting up 4 54lt tanks.

 

1 x 2m
2 x 3ft
4 x 2ft
1 x Small Jebo (Sons tank)
= 8 tanks

 

I have 20 tanks at the moment but I am going to scale down soon.
1x 2m tank
1x 1.8m tank
1x 1.5m tank with Sump
2x 1.2m tank
2x 1.2 m tank costum built with Sumps need 1 sump still
5x 90cm tanks
2x 60lt tanks
2x 30lt tanks
2x 15lt tanks
1x diamond shape tank
and 1x 60lt Jebo tank.

 

i agree with you there.. between my wife's tank and mine, its a lot of hard work, she loves the tank but i get to do the water changes

i dont know how the guys with 10 or 20 tanks manage, honestly lol unless they have help of some kind..
