    Anyone here got one? I’ve been hooked (pun intended) since getting a 20 gallon about a year back before upgrading to a 250L (mix of imperial/metric intended)

    I want to get some betta fish for my old tank to start a new ecosystem without co2 or fertilizer. Been scouring YouTube for some ideas and I thought it might be niche enough to warrant a thread here!

    Hope others join in - I used to have a 75cm cubed aquarium. Had some marvellous fish - big (not really big) sharks and loads more.
    Moved house and had to sell it but fun while it lasted

    Didn't you end up with with one, handsomely proportioned shark?
     
    Moose and Sting like this.

    I seem now to have morphed to garden ponds and one of those is in crisis at the moment - attempting to restore balance

    Yes. We have a 100x50x40cm tank, 175 litres I think. Tropical fish. 2 bristle nosed catfish (bred, had to take >100 to pet shop), a golden nugget, 15 red and black platys, 15 tummy nosed tetras and a few sailfin mollies. Nothing too challenging !

    He keeps tropical fish. In his underpants.

    Had a goldfish in a bowl won at Pinner fair.
    Bubbles
    The neighbour won one also an donated it. Cuddles.
    Bubbles died and was replaced by Nibbles the next year.
    Nibbles lasted a couple of years and after it died, it was replaced by Dribbles.

    Cuddles and Dribbles lasted together for 3 or 4 years. Dribbles died and Cuddles lived for another couple. I recon Cuddles reached 8 or 9 years old.

    Can't win goldfish at the fair any more. Have to put up with an inflatable hammer or some other tat.

    Not nearly as interactive in the bowl.

    We used to have one. Had a variety of species. Until the mollies took over and were the only ones left.

    Cheaper to feed and easy to clean out though.

    Has anyone watched the discovery series Tanked? It's about a company that make bespoke acrylic aquariums for companies and celebs.
    For those with a piscine fetish it's a decent watch.
