    ...figured I'd tell what's going on here and be perfectly honest in that this contest is way cool *grin*

    stands upHi, I'm Sarah, Penycat online and I love fish. I've currently got *deep breath* ...

    living room -
    75 gallon with trio of clown loaches and 9 juvie (half dollar body size) angelfish
    30 gallon with a kind of killi fish that I forgot it's name, there's 6 of them in there, they are about 3-4 inches long, make bright orange markings.
    30g - female bettas and a breeding pair of albino bristle nose (male is long finned)
    20g - juvie bunch of blood jewel cichlids
    5g - pair of rutilian bettas (I hope will breed)
    betta bowl on the mantle with my oldest betta (he's about 3 years old now)

    Kitchen -
    10g betta breeding tank (currently a chocolate plakat marble male with a cellophane female)
    5g betta breeding tank (currently nothing)

    Dining room -
    30g with female zoo-something tequila (male passed) and a few youngin's and a breeding pair of abns (standard fins) with fry all over the tank currently
    many, several, more than I can count (and ready to be sold) betta plakats, mostly female go figure.

    upstairs -
    10g with trio of tiger endlers and black khulis
    55g with colony of Thai Moasic guppies, hopefully breeding pair of regular bristle nose plecos and a bunch of wild caught habrosus cories
    10g, 20g and 30g all set up but empty *gasp*

    outside -
    300g rubbermaid tub - Male le cebia "yellow head" Parachromis sp. (female passed and I'm so mad about that!) They were the only things in there, but as I wanted my 75 to grow out my angels in, I put in the whole 75g tanks worth out there and now the le cebia is darn happy) there's an orange parrotfish that someone gave me (she's about 9 inches long) and a black parrotfish from the same person that's about 6 inches long, a school of rainbows, 2 dragon gobies that I got as babies and now are about 12-18 inches respectively, a male jewel cichlid (his mate just passed...they were old) and one single molly female...lol They are all happy out there.
    35g tub with a juvie but paired off pike cichlid (covered with egg crate).
    35g tub that I grow (accidentally) tadpoles in...lol

    in the process of turning my very unfinished garage into a fish room then everyone but the 75g and 30 in my dinning room will go out there:)

    lol well since it's my husband that pays that, I never see it, he never complains, so........lol yeah someday I want a really big tank, but we'll see about that. my 300g 'pond' is my best bet for large things. I can't wait to get my garage done though! I've actually moved furniture around so I can fit in "just one more" lol my husband will be happy when they are all outside *grin* then the real breeding begins! I miss raising my angels and having a betta barrack in there will help with those as well.

    rotfolol You know if I found a good deal on one, I don't think he'd bat an eye. it's funny because he grew up with no animals but like one hamster once, no cats or dogs, nothing. Then he marries me and we've got 5 acres with 3 little boys, 2 horses, one dog and another that we're watching for my cousin, many many outside feral cats (most are sweet and live on our porch...lol) and then all the fish. The only thing he won't let me have are birds because he was attacked on our honeymoon by a cockatoo. But yeah, in the soon to be fish room, the bottom rows of each rack will be built so I can get huge tanks down there if needed:) My goals long term are to first start my own line of turquoise angelfish (they are my favorite) and be the very first person in the history of the world (big time lol) to breed rope fish *grin* HECK YEAH!!!! lol

    oh and, just found new eggs in the cave of my long finned albino pleco, the female is a short finned, so it'll be awesome to see what comes out of this:)
