Ohh **** i have to count how many species ive got in my 30+ tanks

Oh boy!!! That’s going to be quite a list

None at the moment
Someday I'd like to get up to 2 tanks with anywhere from 3 to 9 species. An 8' uaru tank (either just the uaru or adding in a tetra species, cory species, and possibly 1-2 plecos) and an 8'+ black ray system with a centerpiece fish, either a dat or asian aro if they ever get legalized

When I lived in the U.S. and had 20 tanks and a couple ponds, there were probably at least 25 separate species at any one time.
Because I was anal about keeping fish from one continent separate from another, new world North American, and South American cichlids, old world African or Mideastern cichlids, Madagascan, and Indian cichlids .
Now in Panama, with only 1 tank (so far), I'm even more anal about keeping only Panamanian species together, so my tank has only 4 species
Andinoacara coerleopunctatus.

Roeboides sp tetras

a Panamanian Pleco

And an Eleotris sleeper goby

Local shrimp live in the sumps

Before I got married and had kids I used to keep close to a hundred species at once. I had multiple types of tetras and barbs, various types of amphilopus, oscars, black nasty, various loaches and cichla, arowana, eels, bichirs, gar, various apistogrammas and african cichlids and south american cichlids, harlequin tusk, lion fish, trigger fish, snowflake eel, porcupine puffer, and tangs. I had a lot, but then I got married and had kids and had to get rid of them I still miss my porcupine puffer, I loved that fish so much

I think I have 10 different fish species. I’m not great with african cichlids so it might be less if one or two are in the same species list.

And a couple different snails.
