I got the 3 breeder tank from a friend for $150. The tanks are custom made tank 2 feet wide and 4 feet long giving the fish more room to swim. The 55gal i got use for $30. The homemade filter was made from the friend that sold me the tanks. The wood and Piping $50. Pump $30. I would say around $260 total. It took me 2 days to put together. I could of add another tank to it on top of the 55gal. but decided that i did not want to block the window and that it light from the window will cause a algae problem. I wanted stack my tanks to save space. I do have a 240gal. and 120gal. tank in my storage room with bigger fish. That blue styrofoam behind it was given free to me. I am protecting my wall and the evaporation or the tanks. Hoping it will not cause mildrew
I get most of my fish from a friend for free. My nyererei, blue dolphin and burundi frontosa (not in picture) were given to me. I did buy some 7 strip fry in the picture for $3 each. The other frys are nyererei. I have lot of fancy guppy frys outside in my ponds. About 150+ guppy fry. I will move my fancy guppies inside to one of the empty tank when the weather gets colder. I also have koi fish frys too.
I just like to tell everyone that I am big in energy conservation. This setup takes one 20 watt pump and 1 heater. My house will help it keep warm in the winter too. I know that bucket look tacky but it works. I don't want to setup another tank for frys with air pump. Also the filter look tacky but it works good and cost less than buying one. I raise microworm and daphnias to feed my frys. My 1300gal pond has three little rubbermaid tank pond hook up to it. Running on one pump. I also have a 240gal and 120gal tank. I have to save my money on my bills $$$$$. This hobby can be get expensive. I don't want my wife to kick me out of the house because of my fishes. I love my pets.
