Does anyone here own a tropical fish tank?

Yeah I do but it currently has just goldfish in it so it's cold water.
Kept fish for like 10 years though so at some point it has been 'tropical'.

Nice, there are more types of goldfish than i first imagined after going to a couple of aquatic centres

Marine fish.

Got some pics of my old tropical tanks but they look really shit and it would be a waste of bandwidth putting pics up

Bet that wasn't cheap to set up

I bought most of the stuff of other people. It cost about £150 to setup. Not too bad.

£150 to cmpletely set up a marine tank?? I may look into a marine tank in the near future

Here is my tank anyway.



I CBA to glue the background on properly yet

My black molly is giving birth right now.

Video it.

I had a fish once that was a massive cunt and would normally bruise other fish in the tank and before I knew it, the cunt fish was killed.

Fish porn

Haha hard to video the birth, they just go crazy and a fish goes zooming across the breeding trap, probably wouldnt see on camera.

Think she's done now





About 20-25 babies

Just wait for the next 25 to pop out.

£150 for a marine tank?

My dad paid about £5k for his.

The fuck?

Exactly...absolute bargain there by grenade.

I could spend so much on just tropical alone I seen even the corals are expensive for marine and then there's the skimmers and shit.

The pump blew up on saturday.

When I had guppies I would literally have about 20 new guppy babies every day, didn't stop breeding but then this massive fish we had kept eating the babies so I killed it.

Killed it?

Did you have a breeder tank or something for the guppies?

I put it in this seperate smaller tank we had for fish who were ill and then just overdosed it on medicine. It was really ill anyway.

We didn't have a breeder tank, no, just lots of plants so the babies could hide in them - it worked pretty well.

Ah nice, im already worried about these 20-30 molly babies

Looks like a platy may also be pregnant.

Most of them will die tbf, normally only like 4/5 survive. They either get eaten by others, sucked up by the filter, beaten up by the others, or they get fungus from the fish food which is pretty gross.

Got them in a breeding trap atm, another mollie gave birth before i had the trap and i can see 2 survivers hiding at the bottom of a big plant.

No, but if I did I would want this puppy. The xolotl
