Livingroom or fishstore?
Our living/dinning room area is looking more and more like a fish store. We've got betta, angelfish, tetra, platys, african cichlids, eggs layers, liver bearers, mouth brooders and nest builders.  But I love it.
In the living room is the 120g, 44g corner and 5g betta. The kitchen another 12g divided in 3 and the bedroom a 5g both betta.
The pixs are of the 3/33g, 25g, 15g and 12g tanks. We are setting the second room up as a fish room as soon as it is cleaned up. We need to trash some furniture. We are getting a few more larger tanks for breeding purposes.
More pixs down in thread

 You're right, it is a fish store.
Your cat looks kind of nervous, maybe he thinks all those fish are plotting against him. |

I recognize that look. It's the look of a cat that's ticked off at the pre-flash.
And yes, that does look like a fish store.

Allie.. and others with the fish tanks in their living rooms as I have three of them there, what is the most common question folks ask when they come in your place? Im willing to bet its something like...
" how can you stand the noise all the time?"...
I guess we get used to the sound of the water pumps, filters going and water spilling over the filter?
I always reply.. " what noise?"  |

you know its easy to get so used to that noise because its "white noise" and I think its relaxing! I don't notice it unless something is wrong w/ a filter and it makes a funny noise.. like a car or air conditioner... |

 If I find it gets too noisy. I just do a top off in the loud tank. For the most part I like the trickling sound.
More pix of the rest of the area. |

Our living room was like that before we moved  The first thing everybody said when they came in was "Why don't you have a couch" and my husband would tell them I made him throw it away so I could put another tank in

LOL.. I love it! We know how you feel. We're looking at new apartments now and when we look at one, automatically start figuring out where all the tanks will go and how much room there would be for more tanks. I think it's great to live in a 'fishstore' - congrats on yours! |

That is a fish tank stand for a 4ft tank. We haven't decided what to do with it yet....I am sure we'll figure out what to do with it. |
