So here in New Zealand you get a loyalty card at the LFS,today when i went in to buy my Arowana I joked and told the manager "Hey hows sum discount",he replied saying "we might aswell give you the shop considering the amount of money you spend with us monthly"

he scanned my loyalty card and i almost fell on my back not realizing how many $$$$ ive spent there in the past few months.
By the way he gave me $30 discount on my arowana.

Anyway i was then curious to know how many of the people on this site has a addiction with fish and wanted to find out how many fish everyone is keeping and what types they are.

I also Have to say that ive banned myself from the LFS now.

So ill start the thread with a list of all the fish i have in my house and we will take it from there.

Clown Loaches (4).
Gold Severums (2).
Silver Dollars (2).
Tinfoils (2).

Keep in mind that once the oscars pair off they will be split up in tanks

5 Inch Red Tiger Oscar (2).
4 Inch Red Oscar (2).
3.5 Inch Tiger Albino Oscar (2)
3 Inch Red Albino Oscar (1).
Sailfin Pleco (1).

Tank 4 (Quarintene Tank):

And I thought I had quite a few tanks:laugh:

300 gallon tank

2 Red Oscars
3 Jupari
3 Silver dollars
2 Green severum
1 Leporinus

125 gallon tank

4 Red Oscars (not long-term, looking for a breeding pair)
4 clown Loach
1 false jade eyed cichlid

20 gallon tank

2 albino Corys
2 Cardinal Tetras
2 Bristlenose catfish
1 Loach (can't remember the name, a little bit like a Pakistani Loach)

And that's all for me, not getting any more tanks

Ok, I'm jealous. Only two tanks running here, and neither big, but soon to be three at least (if I ever find someone to carry that thing to over here), and that's it then.

Here goes:

Tank 1 - 300 l
totally overstocked but soon to be two tanks with 755 l in total

1 Oscar 11"
1 Green Terror (goldsaum) 5"
1 Nicaraguan Cichlid 7" (strangely the most aggressive one)
2 Firemouth (tried to get rid of the one I had, now I got two somehow) 4-4.5"
1 Pink Convict 1"
1 Salvin's Cichlid 2"
1 Geophagus whatever 2" (I hope, not seeing it often)
1 Redfin Shark 4-5"
2 female Bristlenose Plecos (I think) 4"
All getting along currently but talk about water changes.

Tank 2 - 54 l
7 young Neolamprologus brevis, hoping to get a pair
1 leftover Clown Pleco (messiest fish I got)
1 leftover Upside-Down Cat
Hoping to move the old catfishes into bigger quarters soon

Else 2 smallish tanks, one housing the last pet mouse currently, one as hospital/quarantine tank for smaller fish.
If I were a guy, I\'d have probably needed only 30% of the amount of words to say this

500 gallon tank- in the progress

200 gallon pond- sadly several fish died recently in there because of granite that got in there from people workin' on our floors:( Very few fish in there now, just a few oscars and my 17'' pleco.

72 gallon tank(SW)- royal grama, some damsels, ruby wrasse, and some tangs

55 gallon tank- Labeotropheus trewavasae West Thumb Island Opal

40 gallon pond- few little oscars, and some livebearers that provide them constant food.

20 gallon tank- Baby lutino oscar, convict cichlid

20 gallon tank- guppies

10 gallon tank- assorted tropicals

Will make a more exact list soon.
