I took some more pictures of my various tanks.
I have a 90 gallon freshwater tank with clown loaches cichlids, and an angel fish.
An oranda tank.
a Ryukin tank with Egbert my eggfish in it.
and a plain orange, orange and white, baby ranchus tank.
Sorry I'm just not very good at taking pictures of moving targets.LOL!

Wow that freshwater tank must be a beast to be able to keep clown loaches!
Are those baby cichlids on the bottom? Man I love cichlids, one day I'd like to have a tank with Firemouth's or one of the Apistogramma variety... 

Hi there,
Oh those ARE cory cats on the bottom. Sorry forgot about them.
I call them my dither fish.  They keep multiplying.
I also have some diffent plecos in there not sure what they are but something keeps having babies in that department too.
There is a golden nugget pleco in there but he hides in the jug decoration. then there are some teeny striped and polka dotted plecos in there and a giant blue eyed thing.  You can kind of see him sitting on the back of the intake tube.
Just two clown loaches.  Their buddies and pal around together.  I actually had only one but one day when i bought a piece of driftwood with a plant in it from petsmart, surprise! a clown loach had hitched a ride with the driftwood.
It's a 90 gallon tank and I bought it from a guy and he gave me all his fish with the tank.  
Can anyone tell me what kind of cichlids those are?  They have flags on their dorsal and tail fins and they do have an irridesent color with red and white stripes on their fins, which didn't show up real well on the pictures

Hi Fantailer,
 Yes they did but I didn't take pictures because they are out in the ponds. 
I only have 2.  One has a bent tail and they are both all orange.  I had one bigger baby survive until last summer this bird came along and plucked him right out of the pond and ate him.  It was a large black bird. Darn it, it was my nicest baby too!

i kept corys in gravel, but it had better be smooth and pretty fine so that they won't hurt their mouths looking for food All our Corys have grown really big and really old, 5+ years each

Blueberry has grown so big! <3 She's beautiful! And I see Bobby as well, and Thor? Who are the other orandas? From goldfishconnection?
Such lovely tanks all of them!

Skwishee, Yes, thank you! That is exactly what my 2 cichlids look like.
I think they are so pretty with their candy cane stripes.
Old Blue eyes the Pleco is rather evil looking.  the guy I got him from said he paid quite a bit of money for some of the plecos and fish.  He got rid of everything cuz he lost his job and they  had a new baby and he could no longer afford to keep them.
I really wantd the tank for my orandas but then it came with all these fish which have grown on me.  He asked me over the phone if I would want "a few" fish but I came home with 3 buckets full lol.


 Nossie,

The gravel is small and smooth and round,  not to worry.  I've had the cory cats and the tank for over 2 years now and they seem to be multiplying so I would say they are fine with the gravel.
Yes that is Blueberry and Thor and Bobby and the other red/wht orandas I got from Paul from Ranchumaniax.com.  The little red oranda, still a baby really, I just got from Ken Fischer of Dandy Orandas.
Thank you for the kind words and compliments.

Wow that article was amazing!  4Figures!  I had no idea I was holding something so rare in my tank!
Maybe I should sell him on ebay j/k LOL!
Thank you for the info.
I'll try and get a better picture of him.

Thank you so much for the compliments Debbie!


I managed to get a picture of Old Blue eyes the pleco and another pix of Egbert my eggfish side view!
I had to resize them cuz for some reason they were too huge to put on here.

Sure I go on vacation.
I recently went for a week out of town.
I had a someone feed the fish for me once a day and did a complete water change on all the tanks before I went away.

LMAO!!  hahahaha oh gosh dont get me started!
I could take and post pictures all day!
Maybe I should take pictures of the betta bowls too .....
hey you enabler here are pictures of my new fish I won last night. LOL!

A pool in the basement! LOL!
Gave hubby the good news!

I know that The gravel comment was mostly aimed at cambojnr who asked c:

That was mean scrivens. You know the saying if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. Plus your comment that ranchus are very genetically modified well I saw on your list of fish you have ryukin and oranda which are very genetically modified also. Its all really what is pleasing to a persons eye, I can understand that maybe they are unpleasing to you but really wasn't nice of you to say it on Mindes post.

Those fish you won look great Mindemae!
