Some of my fistanks

[Mëluzynn]

I'm maybe new in the mantis world but I do have some experience with fishes Specially with Betta splendens, Killifishes and Colisa (chuna & lalia).

My first fishtank was for a Betta splendens called Kumquat because he was the same colour of the fruit. I didn't expect to fall in love with those fishes, for me they were just beautiful as a decoration in my apartment. But they are stunning, not only by their appearance but also because of their behaviour and social attitude with human. After Kumquat came a few different Betta, too much... And I'm not a breeder (I only breed rats...lol). Then came a couple of Colisa lalia in a 60 litres fishtanks, the Colisa fishtank grows to a 80 litres and now I have a couple of Colisa chuna, 8 Puntius titteya, Ozzy the Ancistrus and my beloved Pomacea bridgesii. I also have 3 Killies fishtanks and in a nursery I hatched a 4th species eggs from a breeder.

Here are some of my fishtanks ^^

80 litres with filter and heater

25 litres with filter and heater. With 1 Betta splendens and a group of "Blue Pearl" Shrimps

25 "panorama" with filter and heater. With 1 Betta splendens Giant and some "ivory" babies Pomacea bridgesii

17 litres with filter, no heater. With 1 Betta splendens, 5 Caridina multidentata and a few Anentome helena

10 liters with filter and heater. With one female Betta splendens with a tumor but she's fine, the tumor doesn't grow anymore (for now).

15 litres with filter and heater. With one female Betta splendens Giant (the red one on the picture died a few weeks ago) and a baby "gold" Pomacea bridgesii

5,5 litres with filter, no heater. With 1 Betta splendens Plakat (short fins)

5,5 litres with filter, no heater. With 1 Betta splendens and 1 baby "ivory" Pomacea bridgesii

15 litres with filter, no heater with a group of "Red Cherry" shrimps

12 litres, no filter, no heater. With a couple of Aphyosemion australe "Cap Lopez" and some snails

10 litres, no filter, no heater. With a "false" couple made with a male A. australe "Cap Lopez" and an undefined australe female.

10 litres, no filter, no heater. With a male Aphyosemion rectogoense PEG 95-16, his female died a few days after her arrival, probably a shock during the shipping...

For now the babies Aphyosemion celiae celiae TEKE CXC 21 are too small to be in a fishtank, I'll add picture when they grow

And I have some other fishtanks but they are more simple because they have no filters so I have to change 100% of the water each 2 days. So they are not really "scaped".

All the fishtanks are in my livingroom...XD The rats too... And also 34 orchids...lol

We have bad winters here, when there is snow outside I have the feeling to live in a tropical paradise ^^

I'm in love with Cladophora balls, they are cute, easy to care of and good for the fish tank, it's really my favourite aquatic plant ^^

Just to show, some of the Betta splendens living at home actually

Acyl - Grizzle blue Veil Tail

(The name Acyl comes from the name of an Algerian ethnic metal band, in arabic it means "authentic")

Aoi - Plakat (short veils) Giant, I imported him and his female from a breeder in Thaïland (but I don't breed...lol).

(Aoi means light purple in japanese)

Warda - Plakat Giant, Aoi's female

(Warda means Rose in arabic)

Aishiteru - HalfMoon multicolour

(Aishiteru means "I love you" in Japanese)

Pivoine - Lavender Veil Tail

(Pivoine means "peony" in french)

Ceylan - Blue Veil Tail (I don't know the name of the colour in english, in french it's King Blue)

(Ceylan is the ancient name of Sri Lanka, it's also the name of a tea)

 

[Mëluzynn]

Embers Fire - Bicolour orange and black Veil Tail

(Embers Fire is the title of a Paradise Lost song)

Fallen Angel - Lavender CrownTail

(Because the girl at the pet shop lets the bag fall on the floor...lol)

And two pictures I really like

First, a portrait of my beloved Kôcho-Ran, Multicolour Veil Tail. He died at 2,5 years old, pretty old for a fish from a pet shop. I swear this fish was a dog, I really miss him ^^

(Kôcho-Ran means water orchid in Japanese)

And at last, a "missed" picture of Lemalian, a bicolour HM I really liked. He pass away a few months ago in a stupid accident...

They are many more...lol

Wow very nice. I love those planted tanks. Lucky bettas. Most get tossed in a tiny bowl.
