Zooty Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 My wife and I have a 75 gallon saltwater reef tank and are in the process of setting up another tank (140 gallons). Anyone else keeps fish and what kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Row Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 We have a 65 gal. salt tank. No inverts. Presently there are 2 large angels, 1 emperor amd 1 moluscus (sp?) a large clown, eel gobie and damsel. we have had it over ten yrs now, I used to pay alot more attention to it and there were more fish, but when they died off I didn't bother replacing them. I havn't changed the water or added any fish in over 3 yrs. I'm sure the nitrates & phosphates are waaaay high. Actually if my 2 yr old didn't enjoy it so much I would prolly get rid of it.

Pretty cool. The emperor makes it worth it. Can't believe you haven't changed the water in 3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H8tank Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 30 Gallon w/7" black bass, minnow population decreases rapidy from 30-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I've got a 55 that I keep a few African Cichlids in now. Used to keep several tanks going. Was more involved several years ago with keeping Oscars around. Hard to believe I ever got attached to a fish as a pet... But after raising a couple to pretty large size before they died, decided to stick to some fish that I could care less if they floated or not for a while.

How were you going to get rid of it? Take the fish out and cook them for dinner then dismantle the tank? That would be perfect during a Friday in Lent, a nice Fish Fry!! 30 Gallon w/7" black bass, minnow population decreases rapidy from 30-0. Watch out!! People round here might think you're being overly mean by letting the black bass eat those poor little minnows. You should substitute those Pepperidge Farm Goldfish in there instead to avoid ridicule and unneccesary loss of life. By the way I have a 10-gal. tap water tank with 3 bloated goldfish in it. You know the ones with their eyes popping out. Edited March 12, 2007 by irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
