i have 3 tanks that i consider my actual "tanks"there are a few betta tanks and whatnot that really doesn't fall under my display collection.
my first tank is a 6 foot long,84 gallon tank.
south american catfish community.plecos,ottos,brochis and corys dominate this tank.there is a lone blue ram to mix things up a bit.a few aging neons and a small cloud of guppys.
planting is light(straped for cash at the moment)just a few spiral vals,hornwort,java ferns and some anubias.it's filtered by 1 via aqua 750 canister(getting another one soon) 1 hot magnum 250 pro canister and an emperor 400,which i can't wait to be rid of.heat is provided by 2 300 watt temp marineland heaters.rootwood and lace rock make up the tank decorations along with my few scrawny plants.
second tank 30 gallon african rift lake tank.thinking lake tang.?
right now this tank is occupied by a small severum,5 upside down cats and two spotted raphaels.i hope to do some drastic changes soon,swap the sev and the raphaels into my 84 and add some neolamprogus bricharids.filtration is 2 aquaclear 150's and a penguin 170 w/biowheel.decorations are lace rock,enough to completly cover the bottom third of the tank from wall to wall.
third tank 10 gallons.
this tank has 4 small yoyo loaches,2 female cherry barbs,and whatever ghost shrimp are left?
this tank uses rootwood for decorations as well and filtration is 1 aquaclear 150.

Lol.... Now see for that comment you might not end up getting that gift basket! :p :D

Mike: Does that Severum ever end up bothering those Catfish? Whenver I tried to stick catfish with my severum, it would always end up killing it. :-/

he's still young,about the size of a silver dollar.if one of the usd cats get in his sight at food time he'll chase them but the seem unbothered,other than that no he minds his own buissness.the usd's have lots of places that they can escape to that the sev can't get at.plus sev's are generaly peaceful,but every now and then you get one that is a holy terror.i fear mine will be one of those too.i don't think he even knows there are raphaels in the tank.
