[zcat]

This sums up my addiction for now:

5 gallons

12 gallons – Endler Tank
- unknown # females
- 1 Peacock endler
- 1 Black Bar endlers
- 1 Snake Chest endlers
- 2 Wild caught Black Tuxedo
- 2 orange stripe variation
- unknown # babies
- 1 oto
- 3 cory dwarfs

5 gallons
1 - blue butterlfy HM betta
3 - harlequin rasboras
1 - peppered oto

5 gallons
- quarantine/hospital tank

60 gallons
- 2 gold tetras (started out with more but have decided not to replace)
- 6 Corys Julli
- 1 pair German blue rams
- 2 Danasonii barbs
- 1 Boesemani rainbow (Melanotaenia Boesemani)
- 1 Praecox rainbow (Melanotaenia praecox)
- 1 Goyder River rainbow (Melanotaenia trifasciata)
- 1 Checkered rainbow (Melanotaenia splendida inornatus)
- 1 Turquoise rainbow
- 2 rubberlip plecos
- 1 freshwater goby (Australian desert goby maybe?)

40 gallon (future zebra set up…maybe?)
- 5 rainbow juveniles of unknown species (another online order fiasco….I did receive what I paid for plus 4 more than I asked for. However, they came in poor shape and the fellow doesn’t seem to remember which species he sent. “A little bit of everything” I’m told. But they were successfully treated and good as new now)

I'm surpised at the number of Endler keepers here! Have you all been to www.endlersrus.com? It's similiar to this board, dedicated to preservation of the species. Dr. John Endler himself has recently joined.

You guys have got a great collection of fish, I need to get more fish. I just don't seem to have enough varieties . Nice looking tanks and L144 babies Sharko.

This is pretty much what I have at present:

200+ cardinal tetras.
35 Rasboras Hengli.
16 C. Sterbai.
6 C.Albino.
4 Marbled Hatchets.
6 Scleromystax barbatus.
14 Red dwarf red fin plecs.(Parotocinclus maculicauda)
1 pair Gold Ancistrus(L144).
200+ Endlers(original wild variety)
12 Armano shrimp
10 Red snout shrimp.
2 clown loach.
2 Blue German Rams.
Oh yes a few of those B & W plecs that you don't see much of.

Zcat, I see that you have quite a few of the naturally occuring Endler variants. I've been after some Tuxedos, Snakeskins and Peacocks for quite a while now but I just can't find any in the UK. Are your fish from either Armando Pou or Adrian HD? They seem to have the best Endlers in the US.

[sharko]

And Adam, how many zebras do you have again?

[Adam]

Nice try Sharko, promise I'll say how many one day just not today .

[Shell231]

30 assorted 15-5 gallon tanks scattered around... and about 40 10g waiting to be stocked as soon as I finish up the wall insulation so I can stock the rack my friends came up and built for me one weekend...

oops.. looks like we broke the 10K gallon(US) mark

[Skye]

Lampy, you have 48 x 30 gal tanks? is that what im reading?? holy *()**()&% batman!! and thats just the 30 gals!!!

k, well, im not NEARLY close to that...

4 x 1 gal: assorted bettas

3 gal: short finned plakat (very agressive)

10 gal: platies, mollies, tetra, snail

20 gal Long: 6 Giant danios, 3 blackskirts... cycling for my (eventual) zebras...

37 gal: to be set up

33 gal: to be set up

all on a student budget (finishing second yr) in a 2 bedroom appartment on the second floor. i think im breaking some building code/rules like 6 times over (cuz i also have birds and bunnies and...)

[Lampy]

Skye,

yes.. you read correctly, but I get fish in all the time, some are here for breeding, some for resale, and some are my fry tanks. Many of the tanks can be all but empty at times... the rest of the time it's a game of who can I squeeze in where!!

About 1/3 (?) of my tanks are normal tap water for the South American fishies, and the rest are hardened water tanks for my Africans. Actually at the moment, I don't have any L46 zebras, but lots of others including the L236's (yes, I'm still convinced that's what they are!) L173's, L345's and some awesome new plecos that came simply with the name Pleco Alenquer, an awfully nice tiger hypancistrus. More interesting ones coming in Sunday, and then I hope to have a picture taking frenzy!!
