Beautiful tanks! I am jealous of your Amazon sword in the last picture...a roque newt has broken all the leaves on mine with eggs which aren't even fertile

You're right, I think the fish deserve a little press as they led me into my hobby in the first place!

Here's my fish tank in all it's not-cleaned-out-yet-so-water-is-yellowish glory.

I have 3 angelfish, a pair of kribensis, four corydoras, 4 copper harlequin rasboras, 3 cardinal tetras, and an albino bristlenosed catfish (lovingly named f-ugly by my partner).

Our current aquarium before we moved house and I lost pretty much all of the plants (62 UK gallons + sump):-

I've never kept any fish, apart from a betta splendens that only lived 4 days due to a very sudden fungus attack.
I got a filthy fish tank from cash generator not too long ago, and instantly decided it would be a nice upgrade for my paddle tail newts. So I got the whole tank spotless and moved them in.
I'm not going to keep any tropical fish (much as I'd love to), as the only room I can use is my room, and I don't want a tank heater raising the overall temperature of my room, I don't think Teddy, Imi and Rissi would be too pleased with me

I think that's right for quoting people?
Chris, it's not 'normal', but it's not 'abnormal'. I'd be interested in hearing about your tank to make sure that it's just the fishie's personality and not a worry. 2 gallons or larger, weak filter (but still filtered), if not heated, at least stable, clean water, etc...

I've had about 15 bettas over the years, lives ranging from 2 weeks to six years. I had a hobby made out of buying the sickest ones and healing them. For some I was successful, for others I was not, but so goes it. I like to think that they at least enjoyed their time being spoiled, if nothing else.

I've kept 3 larger tanks, a twenty, a thirty, and a forty, with various combinations of tiger barbs, gouramis, rainbow sharks (love them), freshwater angelfish, giant danios, zebra danios, cherry barbs, cory cats, yoyo loaches, way too many snails, tetras, faintailed tetras...

I'm volunteering at the Georgia Aquarium now to get my fix. We have whale sharks and manta rays and tiger sharks and all sorts of lovely things.

Oh man, fish!
