    It is obviously no secret that many of us suffer from MTS. I was browsing though the forums and realised that, to keep the interesting fish, you really need to consider species-specific tanks.

    So here is my wishlist.

    1. Silver Dollar community Tank (already have one)
    2. Catfish tank in paludarium setup (already have one)
    3. Brackish water for Puffers, Archer Fish etc.
    4. Black-water tank (I think it is called?) for Elephant Nose and Ghost Knife Fish
    5. Carnivorous tank, maybe more than one... Leopard Ctenopoma, African Butterfly Fish, Leaffish, etc.
    6. Fast moving river tank, for Hillstream Loaches
    7. Discus tank
    8. Marine tank

    Personally I would enjoy the technical aspects of keeping and researching these speciality fish and creating the ideal setup for them. But, unfortunately my wife decided that two tanks in the house is more than enough... :cry:

    ah yes the devil is in the detail ... so you are allowed an unlimited number of tanks in the garden, garage and on the patio.

    MTS most wanted - indoor fishroom 100% solar powered

    - Brackish setup, mainly with puffers and eels or mudskippers
    - Marine,one predator and one reef with lots of inverts
    - Huge predator tank, arowanas, stingrays, bichirs, dats etc
    - Bunch of nano tanks each with a shrimp or lobster species and a micro fish eg dario or badis (I know I know black list)
    - Hillstream setup
    - Special pleco setup
    - Paludarium
    - Shellies or brichardi
    - One setup with either a mbu puffer or fahaka puffer

    I noticed a lot of guys lists include Marine tanks lol ... I'm an ex reefer ,I started out fw and always wanted marines, now I'm back in fw... I guess its the cycle we all follow lol...

    My dream setup is a man made dam in backyard with rock work and waterfall hosting some beasts like arapaimas,redtails and so fast breeding river fish to provide a food sources, so more natural run giant pond if I may
