What do you guys keep? I have retired my tanks for the time being but I have kept a bunch of different tanks/fish.
I had a freshwater stingray tank for about 2 years with leopoldi stingray and various plants planted in teracota pots so she couldnt dig the pants up and eat the roots. Totally awesome fish to keep but so much work and for a regular pet store customer at the time i purchased it, was about 600-700 dollar price tag for one.
i kept a small saltwater tank called a nanoreef. Was pretty awesome, but roughly 400-500 bucks to set up a 10 gallon tank all said and done.
I had a small school of piranha for a time aswell, hardy fuckers... impossible to kill. The only way they were dying was they would eat each other over time.
I had a 10 gallon freshwater tank that was planted heavy. It was co2 injected and had a soil substrate. It was so planted that the entire bottom of the tank was covered in a lawn of aquatic grass.
I used to work in a high end fish shop, so i got killer deals on most my gear/fish. If anyone has any questions in regards to fish tanks I would be happy to help you out.
