Hi to all.

I have 2 community tanks that are my passion. I have had great luck with all of my fish. I started out with a 5 gallon table top tank.
I just wanted to see. How I would like it. Now I have been diagnosed with MTS. I then upgraded to a 10 and then a 20 gal. tank
I really really really want a 55 gallon tank. I just need to so a great deal of begging and pleading with my husband.
20 gal
4 anglefish
6 clown loaches
3 plecs
1 upside down catfish
10 gal
4 juvvie anglefish
2 large apple snails
4 mystery snails
1 plec
4 emerald cory catfish

Hey, we are glad to have you here at FWM! Nice to see you have the start of MTS (multiple tank Syndrome) don't worry we are here to help! You definately need an upgrade...just keep bugging you husband!

Hiya dogyluver, welcome aboard! I know I have a bad case of MTS also because there is always room for 1 more tank LOL. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask anyone & look forward to getting to know you better.

to FWM. Dont worry about the MTS, many people have it and they go on to live a normal life. Take me for example I have 7 tanks on a 2nd floor apartment and Im ok . Looking foward to seeing you around the board.

Beg your bubby? surely not.. just feed him hot dogs and mac n cheese for a week, i'm sure he'll come around

You may want to rethink the 55g thing for at least a 75g.....
I upgraded from a 29 to a 75 back in the day, and it was full in no time......

LOL ... Women need not beg, Food Is The Key & if that don't work you can
always ---> or give him some spiked

Cant breath!

It is pretty funny! I just love all these new smilies & it's easy to describe stuff w/ them!!!

I like the hot dogs and mac n cheese idea.

This post was started a few months ago, did you get the new tank. If not how are the fish doing?

Yes, update please......

we need a smiley eating popcorn lol

Hi there,
I am a newbie in aquariums, but am also a bio major with a speciality in Ichthyology. So I figured I had it handled, boy was I wrong! So many new things to learn that you NEVER have to consider in the field. I have a new 20gallon (about a month now) and I currently only have 2 panda cories, 3 glofish and 3 ghost shrimp. I just finished my cycle so I am slowly adding. I have a lightly planted tank (now that cycle is over I am going all out on the low light plants). I also have a 2.5g snail tank filled with snails that I plan to use for my masters thesis. I have always had at least one beta around the house for years, but this is my first foray into setting up an entire ecosystem. I knew experience counted for as much as education, but I didn't really.... if you know what I mean . I already have MTS, but instead of buying another tank, in a few months I am gonna attempt to build my son a small one and go from there. I have this dream tank that I have been drawing for years, since no one else builds it for less than 3000 I am eventually gonna do it myself. Hope to get to know you all very well:)
