Hi there
Posted: 23 Feb 2008, 03:12
Hello all...I've been a lurker around the species profiles for a few months, and finally decided to join. 
I currently have the fallowing tanks
5.5 gallon:
1 male betta
2 male feeder guppies
10 gallon:
5 harlequin rasboras(soon being rehomed)
6 bilineatus cories/pygmaeus(please see my next thread)
1 habrosus cory
1 vampire shrimp
20 long:
many mixed tropicals...not gonna list because it is waaaaaaaay over stocked, with improper numbers, etc.
40 high, African cichlids:
7 P. saulosi
1 M. johnjoansonae
1 L-018
That's all of my tanks. I've been keeping fish for about 6 years, and only seriously for about 2 years. I'm 16 years old, and am also keeping birds(zebra finches, diamond dove, budgie, lovebird), gerbils, turtles, frogs, lizards, newts, etc.
I have 6 bilineatus/pygmaeus cories...I"ma gonna make a new thread with some pics so y'all can help me ID them. Within the next few months, I hope to upgrade my 10 gallon to either a 20 long, or a 29 gallon SA biotope aquarium. If I have bilineatus cories, I want to go with a rio madeira biotype, or if I have pygmaeus, a rio orinoco biotype. Fish, plants, everything. The only thing out of place, will be my madagascar lace(because it's my favorite plant ever, and it's huge.)...lol
I also have most of my tanks planted. my 10 gallon is heavily planted, with java fern, java moss, ozelot sword, italan val, dwarf sag, narrow leaf sag, anubia congnesis, rotala indica, mexican oak leaf, green hygro, micro sword, crypt. lutea, crypt. wendtii var. brinze, and some other kind of crypt.
My 40 gallon has 2 Anubia batarii var. nana, and 2 Anubia congnesis.
That's all for now...oh...the gold nugget(about 3 inches) will gett moved into the 20 long/29 when I get it, because even tho it is smaller, the sirface area is still the same, but the water parameters will be more suitable for him, beacuse I want to go with a real biotope...so my water params, I want to be as close to natural as I can.
FYI...my name is Andrew...I work as a bus boy at a resturant, and at an lfs..
