rosco Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 not enough i am building these 5 malawi colonies, 3 BN colonies, peppermints, 3 breeding tang species. As for fry a hand full of Saulosi and yellows and hundreds of BN fry. (I have 6 grow out tanks full of BN's with some in fry savers). I still have room for 3 more colonies probably 2 tangs and 1 malawi. cheers rosco oh and as of today 12 neon tetras I have lost one of tanks to a community tank to Mrs Rosco . But in saying that she has done a tickey boo job of aquascaping. I need a photo of it cause it does look really good. At least I did not have to buy the BN's I now have a tank for L168's cheers rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannula Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Only 39 (I think), scaled back a bit and won't try to breed any fish until I move in the coming months. American cichlids (2 tanks), Lake Malawi (1 tank) & Tanganyika cichlids (1 tank), Australian natives (1 tank), loaches and American and African catfish (with African cichlids), all display.

BaZ Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Somewhere between 500 and 1000. I don't find the time to sit and count them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropheusQueen Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Close to 1500 - 2000 and I love every single one of them as much as my first handful of mollies kept many years ago . Do I love some more than others........ maybe may even have been known to kiss a few now and then - call me Mrs Hunt as well as Mrs Murphy .

Patto Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 the other day i stripped my female yellow that is about 8cm and i got 65+ swimming fry out of her. her mouth was huge 65 in one mouthfull!!!! Good Lord!!!! I was breeding Hongi's for a while. Had around 30 at one stage. Scaled back to just 10 in my display tank.... That was until the heat of Christmas. I wasn't at home for those two 40 degree days. Got home and found them all floating on the top. So at the present time i have Zero fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Two... many! Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davez104 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I think you miscounted Andrea, you couldn't possibly have that many! Not sure how many I have, 9 tanks so far with another 6 coming. At a guess probably 50, not including fry, probably 100-150 fry. I was breeding a few Malawis, lithobates, dolphins, aceii etc, thats where all the fry are from. Got rid of all my Malawis, bar the dolphins, now have Tanganyikans, most are still fairly young so not much breeding there yet. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trofius Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 too much is never enough! 20 tanks 8,6,6,6,4,4,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1, +bathtub+tumbler tub+buckets 150+ fish, ~25species, mostly tangs. 200+ fry, also 75 eggs tumbling from various mouthfulls I tend to sway towards the less common varieties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
