Well............ some people are just lucky! Congrats on the new tank! Even I don't know if I would turn down a free tank. But yes, I agree........you do have the MTS!

lol.. yes but this is the last tank coming in...... unless i'm lucky enough to find another over 100g, then i'm going to swap out a tank or two

Well, monkey there you go again, another tank? You really don't have the room for it, why don't you just send it right now here, I have the perfect wall to put it on and everything I know I don't suffer from MTS I only have the 1.5 and 6 gallon at school, the 125, 20 long, 2-20 regular,the 29 at the foot of the bed, the 24 in the dining room, the 2-10 gallon betta set ups, the 4-1 gallons, the 5 gallon, the 4-2.5 gallons, and uh I think that's it I definately don't have a problem...

You will move into a larger place someday.

Patty, if you want a truly epic case of Mutliple Tank Syndrome, try Ad Konings, the African Cichlid expert.

He bought the house next door just so that he could fill it with aquaria.

Trouble was, after he moved his aquaria into that house, he thought his own house was a bit empty. so he started setting up more aquaria in there as well.

I believe that he has over 300 aquaria at the last count. His 'fish house' is better stocked than some public aquaria with respect to Rift Lake Cichlids.

Pam Chin, a fellow Cichlid keeper on The Cichlid Room along with Ad Konings, is another serious case. 200 aquaria in her home.



Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

Cali, you forgot about Marc (acidrain)! He's got 200-300 tanks, last I checked...

Anthony Calfo is also obviously addicted to the hobby... and I've met him in person

And I have 4 tanks running right now... 2 sw, 2 fw... setting up another sw (I've got the tank and the stuff, just need to get it set up)...

Hear that monkeyboy? You better hurry up & get that bigger house.......... you got a long way to go to catch up!

lol oh no. these are enough work as it is. I move into a larger place with alot more space. i'm either going to make a tank or have one made that is at least 10ft long, 4ft wide, and 3 ft high (about 900g. because i would stock it with very large fish. then i would sell my curretn stock. then convert some of my other tanks into the filter system for the custom.

ay... best part with all of what i have (see my profile for full list). is that i havent spent more than 100 on any tank (including stand) and including fish, i have spent less than $700 us for EVERYTHING fish related that I have... dam i love ebay and people who dont want fish no more lol

You got a zebra pleco! I'm not into pleco's, but from pictures, I remember the zebra pleco. Very striking! I'm thinking someone on here said they saw one for sale for $250.!? Maybe your zebra was one of your eBay specials?

Ebay for fish? That sounds interesting. Think I'll check it out & see what kind of good deals you're getting in on.

MTS-yeah got that. I'm at 4 now 10,29,30,55 with an empty 20L looking at me dead in the face. The funny thing is I just emptied the 20L b/c as I arrived home last week and my neighbor had put out a 30G to be tossed. Well with my keen eye and awareness for bigger tanks I ran over brung that old krusty tank home, Cleaned it up and two days later I transferred the 20L inhabitants along with the plants into the 30. Lastly I have plans of getting a 75+ after the holidays, when will it stop.

By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

ah now i'm bummed. people i was going to get the 35g from got impatient and didnt read my emails. had to help out a freind in the hospital and ended up lettting someone else have it... they suck.. oh well.. back on the hunt

Awwwwwwwww Sorry for your loss

I moved out of my dinky apartment in August into a large, drafty old house and finally have the space to set up all of my tanks. (5 total) Unfortunately, I don't have the $$ to set them all back up. Having heat is more important right now.
