A list of fish I have

I thought to make a list of fish I have now. There are like 15 tanks inside and around my house. Its better know what I have. I think I have more fish than I want. Still I buy more and more fish. This is a hobby which can make a hole in your purse. Anyway Its still great to have all the fish you want.
So these are what I have.

  1. Discus Fish - I have not less than 12 various kinds of Discus fish. These guys need lot of attention and need to spend more money for them than any other fish. Daily water changes. Specail high quality fish food. better filtering systems. But they worth all that.
  2. Oscar - I have a pair of Black tiger Oscar and 3 pairs of Albino Oscar. Black pair look more beautiful than albinos. I might give away 1 or 2 Albino pairs. These guys are messy fish.
  3. FlowerHorn - My new Flowerhorn pair (have no idea if its a pair or not) getting better. They look nice already though still no humps visible. They eat bit more now and I hope their appetite will grow with time.
  4. Yellow Convicts - My 2 Yellow Convict pairs lay eggs one a month it seems. I thought they are not aggressive but they get really aggressive if you put a pair together in a tank. If they decided to breed that's really bad for other fish. Last time only fish who survived were a cory cat and a guppy in a community tank.
  5. Golden Severum - I have a one lonely male Golden Severum. He had a mate and they even laid eggs few time though never had fry. They he started beating his mate so I had to remove her. But later she died. Haven't found a partner for him yet.
  6. Green Severum - I have 2 Green Severums whom I have no idea about their gender. I really hope they are a pair. Or both to be females.
  7. Guppy - have a tank full of Guppy. Used to give everyone guppy from my stock but still have plenty left.
  8. BlueRams - I always wanted to have these pretty cichilds. I found few battered one at a pet shop and bought them though they didn't look good. Now they have fully recovered but it seems all of them are females. They are in Discus tank but they are unbelievably peaceful. They fight with each other but nothing serious. No trouble with Discus they simply ignore each other. A great tankmake for Discus fish though I have no idea if they might get aggresive in breeding season.
  9. Corydora - I have a one Cory Cat which is at least 3 years old. This guy servived in a Yellow Convict breeding tank ! He is big.
  10. Pelco - Few days ago I found a pelco who I had no idea I have. probbly I was given him by someone and then totally fogotten.
  11. Mbuna - I have this cichild fish from Malavi which I don't remember the name. he is golden color and lives in his own tiny tank. But good for community tanks since they are aggressive.
