or something like that.
My name is Adam. I live in St. Louis Missouri.
I love fish. Honestly I love everything about water in general but have kept my tanks in freshwater at the moment. Although I know a guy who breeds sea horses and every time I see them it makes me want to get into saltwater.
I have 9 tanks right now. 8 of them are running...I just got a 200 gallon that I have not set up yet. Waiting to have my floor looked at by a professional to reinforce it first. I currently have the following...
3 Gallon (on my desk at work) - 3 White Cloud Mountain Minnows, snail, ghost shrimp
5 gallon (in my son's room) - Betta, snail, ghost shrimp
10 gallon (office) - Feeder Guppies, shrimp, snails and some bumblebee gobys at the moment
37 gallon (square tank - in bedroom) - 3 German Blue Rams and 1 Electric Blue Ram, ghost shrimp, rubberlip pleco
40 gallon breeder - 1 - 7 in Fahaka Puffer (It will be moved into the 75 gallon soon then eventually moved into a 180 when I get it) and 10 white cloud mountain minnows that the puffer gets along with (so far anyway)
55 gallon (Tv room) - 6 - 4 inch Geophagus Altifrons, 1 - 7 inch Black Ghost Knife, 1 turquoise crayfish, 4 hillstream loaches, 1 longfin albino/ yellow bristlenose
55 gallon (living room) - 1 - 6 inch reticulated stingray, 1 8 inch senegalus bichir, 1 - 6 inch albino senegalus bichir, 2 - 5 inch Ctenopoma, 1 - 6 inch Bala Shark, 3 Golden Wonder Killies
75 gallon - 5 Random Angelfish, 20 puntius denisonii (Roseline Barb/shark or whatever), 1 clown loach, 2 bristlenose plecos, 5 powder blue dwarf gouramis, 1 violet goby
45 gallon tub - on the deck - low water level with an air pump holding crawfish for my puffer
I know I am overstocked but all of that will be moved or removed in the very near future. I am moving the stingray, bichirs, ctenopomas, geophagus, Bala shark and killis into the 200 gallon, the rest will be redistributed except for a few I will be getting rid of...the gobies are going to a friend with a brackish tank and depending on how the stocking looks Ill be getting rid of more.
Because of my stocking issue at the moment I have canister filters and HOB filters (on the 75, 55, 55) and 2 HOB filters (on each of the 10, 37,40). I do weekly water changes for all of my tanks (except for the puffer tank I do twice a week).
Anyway thats about it for now. Im trying to figure out how I am going to set up my 200 gallon so any tips or ideas are welcome. Honestly I love building the environments for my fish and watching them enjoy it.
Here are some videos of some of my tanks. http://www.youtube.com/user/freshwateradam
