The Official Asylum Freshwater Tank Thread

[Tikihut27]

I have two tanks up right now. Since I was overseas for 2008, they started out a little shabby this year, but here is how they are right now. (My wife says they die when I am on military duty because they "miss me".)

First tank, 55 long. Use this for schoolers and to grow predators for the big tank. Once they eat the schoolers, they are ready to move! Has in it right now:

2 Red Rainbow (Glossolepis incisus)
1 Bosemani Rainbow (Melanotaenia boesemani)
2 Madagascar Rainbow (Bedotia geayi)
2 Diamond Tetra (Moenkhausia pittieri)
2 Red Eye Tetra (Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae)
1 Emperor Tetra (Nematobrycon palmeri)
2 Flagtail Porthole Catfish (dianema urostriatum)
2 Bumblebee Catfish (Pseudopimelodus raninus)
1 Banjo Catfish (Bunocephalus coracoideus)
1 Clown Loach (Chromobotia macracanthus)
1 Green Tiger Botia (Botia hymenophysa)
1 Striped Headstander (Anostomus anostomus)
And probably a few I missed



The big tank is a 150 that used to be an Amazonian tank but has morphed a little. Big predators and cats mostly, but I lost the really good ones last year. Currently:

1 Leopard Ctenopoma (Ctenopoma acutirostre) 4"
1 Flagtail Prochilodus (Semaprochilodus insignis) 6"
1 Rhino Pleco (Pterygoplichthys scrophus) 8"
1 Black-Banded Leporinus (Leporinus fasciatus) 10"
1 Lima Shovel Nose Catfish (Sorubim lima) 5"
1 Upside-down Catfish (Synodontis eupterus) 6"
1 Twig Catfish (Farlowella acus) 5"
1 Hujeta Gar (Ctenolucius hujeta) 5"
2 Red Bellied Pacu (Piaractus brachypomum) 2" just got this weekend
