Many and Varied

Some pictures of my fishy friends.

Angelfish:



A baby Albino Bristlenose (Ancistrus):



Adult Male Brown Bristlenose:


Corydoras Aeneus Fry (apologies for the quality, these guys are TINY):



Male Powder/Neon blue Dwarf Gourami:


Male German Blue Ram (his name is Boris ;):


Danio and GBR:


Glass Catfish (hard to photograph!):


Black Ghost Knifefish (his name is Kershaw ;):


Neon Tetras:


This guy is no longer with us. A Siamese Fighter (Betta) that was given to me in a very sad state. He was kept in one of those awful little Fighter tanks before I took him home, named him 'Nitro' and nursed him back to health in a planted 100L. I then made the mistake of moving him, and he died that night. I don't really know why, but I suspect Kershaw):


Platies and their fry (love the one where the platies appear to be watching the guppy dance):






Rummynose Tetras:


Juvenile Silver (Bala) Sharks:

The difference between 'pet fish' and 'lifestyle choice'.

Or, a little tour of my house.

Things have changed a bit around here since I last wrote. I have been enjoying a severe case of Multiple Tank Syndrome (MTS) that doesn't look to be getting better any time soon.

Here is where I am typing to you from, with my favourite fishy resource proudly displayed on-screen:


Here is a collection of treatments and medicines:


A collection of foods:


My Male Guppy tank (female culls go in here as the stores like them pre-hit):


Female Gups:


A breeding tank on my indoor kitchen 'windowsill':


Quarantine/fry tank:


220L Softwater Community:


African Cichlids (I am getting out of these, too aggressive for me. My Goldies will be moving into the tank):


My Goldfish (this tank will be another breeding tank when they goldies move):


My husband's planted community tank (right after a massive plant-trim, believe it or not!):


Even my 8-year-old son has a tank in his room (he chose this as his last birthday gift, hmm... I am a bad influence!):


I have set up another tank on the kitchen sill since taking these pictures, so that means I am now up to 12 tanks in my house!
