180 and 75 long

[Manning99]

180 stocklist:
1x Atapo red pike
1x BGK
1x Black spotted eel
1x Ropefish
1x Delhezi bichir
1x Senegal bichir
1x Ctenopoma
2x ABF
5x Angelfish

75 Gallon stocklist:
1x Razorback musk turtle
1x Common musk turtle
4x Albino corys
3x Zebra snails
Guppies and mollies all producing fry

By the time the pike and delhezi are nearing maturity I plan to move the ABF and angelfish to a 125 with a couple smaller oddballs(maybe smaller spinys/knife fish?)

Only aggression in either tank at the minute
Is between the pike and sen just a bit off occasional chasing no actual damage to either party.

Planning to add a bigger light strip and some more driftwood/java fern towards to back and sides.

Plan to add a couple more albino corydoras to bump the number up to 6-8.

love that 75g long!

Sweet!
What are the dimensions of that long tank?

 

[Manning99]

Cheers, 72x12x15 with the actual usable water area being closer to 60x12x10 still loads if swimming space.

That is a sweet long tank (75g). I have never seen one like it but I would love it.

The closest I come to that (shape-wise) is this unusual tank which recently followed me home (picture below).
This little aquarium that was being discarded at my wife's school- Dimensions (approx): 30 x 6 3/4 x 8 2/8 inches (LxWxH). It comes out to be ~7.5 gallons (yes, with a decimal point). It does not have any manufacturers stickers, but the glass is as thick as a regular 10gal, and the plastic frames (top & bottom) are quite thick. I have never seen one like it, specifically being so long (30" !) yet so small. I suppose it could be used to raise some fry for a while..., but I think I am going to use to grow frogbit in it.
Placing a Fluval FX-6 manual in it for the picture is very much a joke (or not!), but they just happen to be about the same height.
I love your 75 long and your 180. Cheers!

Now that’s insane, I wonder what it was being used for. It would make a good shrimp tank.

Interesting little tank you've acquired there, maybe nice with one of the large shrimp species (bamboo shrimp maybe) and open top with plants growing out the water.

180 Gallon Update:

Removed 5X Angelfish
Added 2X Clouded Archerfish

Added driftwood covered in java fern plantlets from my mother plant in the 75.

Do plan to add more driftwood soon and rescape to cover the blue background with wood/rocks/plants then leave an open swimming around at the front.

Starting supplementing with gutloaded live crickets which has produced an amazing feeding response, especially in the ABF and archers

75 Gallon Update:

Added 4X Albino Corydorus
Added 4X Blue Ramshorn snails

Considering adding vampire crabs to the lathe unoccupied land portion but concerned about them escaping.
