As for the having two, originally, I had one tank for aggressive (Cichlids, Needle Nose Gar, etc.) and the larger tank for community fish.
After relocating to California, I gave away all the hostile fish and upon my return to Utah, both tanks are now community.
Shitload of work feeding, cleaning, replacing dead fish, etc.
About twice/year, I empty both tanks, scrub them down, replace old tank items (fake plants, etc) and re-insert the fish; takes most of a Saturday.
I too had one of those "Blue Lobster's". Watch out when he finally catches a fish, its like watching a chain saw in action!Ardent Lady wrote:Ranger Vee, I've kept fish most of my life, I guess. Never thought of it like that, but it seems to be the way it's been.
When the kids were home they would choose the fish, and then add turtles and other inhabitants. Now that they're off and gone, I re-fit the tank. Just for grins I went with a Hogwarts School of Wizardry theme for the decor. Got a castle, a hut, lots of plants and keep finding interesting things to put in it. The star of the tank is my blue lobster (it's fresh water, so I think he's really a crayfish). He's bright blue and does a good job of uprooting everything. Fun to watch.
I hear you there. I have two aquariums, a third tank full of hermit crabs, two 110 pound dogs and a little white cat; all thanks to my 10 year old boy!Vee wrote:I never was the least interested. My kids took the money they got from Grandma this year at Xmas and bought a 15 gallon.

15 gallon that started it all. Population has changed a bit since this pic.
55 gallon as I was building the custom stand for it:
