Yeah, got fed up of being limited by just two tanks, fish hustling for territory, and not being able to treat any that went sick on me! This way I have a 24" hospital/breeding tank which will eventually get built into the other side of the room under one of the 48" tanks, and with the three 48" tanks that are planned, plenty of expansion room as well.
Besides which, I have several local retailers ready and waiting for the young ones. Might even make back some of the cost of enjoying my hobby! (This wasn't exactly cheap to build, so far the price has crept over the £500 mark and not yet fully stocked, but who cares, it's FUN!)
On second thoughts, is this a hobby or a passion? The latter, I think.
Started getting decor for the tanks today. The Greek tank is now finished, with Tweedle Dee, (the angel) sitting back to admire her new home and the Atlantic Tank is now taking shape, with Mr. Ching inspecting Neptune!
BTW, Jill, the female gourami in Tank 5 got stuck behind the filter during a water change and died before I found her. (I didn't see her till it was too late). I guess Jack will be lonesome again for a while as he kept attacking Rachael, the other female every time I put them together!
Timg, I really admire your tank setup! It looks well thought out, and like you have them coordinated with your living area. Mine look like an after thought. You recognised early on that you were just going to indulge your MTS, and looks like you have the right idea! Very nice.
Thank you for the compliment. The other side of the room looks completely out of place now, because, like you, when I started, I just added here and there. This will soon be rectified though, since having gone this far, I may as well finish the job properly!
Here's an image of the other tanks as they are now and the layout plan for the wall when the construction is finished:
Been busy again, now got the chinese themed tank finished. This will eventually be home for all the siamese females and one of the males, the siamese algae eater and a couple of neons etc.

That's a great setup, i would love to have a room like that and I think going with fish that originate in the country/area of the tank theme would be cool. I have to ask if you're meaning multiple Bettas in your chinese-themed tank?

Two females would be okay but add a male to that and you will have some dead fish!
