excluding professional keepers & sellers & breeders, just the plain at home hobbyist / aquarist.

# of tanks = _________ 1.5
# of gal = _________ 92
# of yrs = _________ 6mos. (just restarted again, but started 36 yrs ago)

list = _________ see below

20 gal - petsmart special already too small with 5 med/sm angels, 10 baby & 3 adult albino cories, 2 med/sm plecos, 1 baby algae eater & 1 baby tricolor shark (yep way too many but I inherited the angels!)

72gal bowfront - in cycling mode purchased off of CL (can't wait to start my discus family!)

Let's give it a try

9 tanks
1,059 gallons
I've always had a 55, so I started buying more tanks and getting more into fish about 2 years ago.

Breakdown:
5 gallon (now my daughters)
10 gallon (feeder tank)
20 gallon (my marine tank)
54 gallon (now my wife's marine tank)
55 gallon (quarantine tank)
120 gallon (rays, polypterus)
120 gallon (jardini and clown loaches)
225 gallon (silver aro's, pbass, jag cichlid, clown knife, and jd)
450 gallon (is getting a crack fixed right now)

How can you have 1.5 tanks?


Anyhow I have 20 plus tanks at about 1400 gallons been doing this for the last 5 years. This after a 14 year break and kept fish 12 years prior.
