So Im sorry if this is in the wrong place and if it does not belong please delete it. :$

One of the best parts of fish keeping is showing off your tanks and fish. Tell us about the fish you keep and all the tanks you have.

I will start with my tanks.
I have 4 tanks that are in use(two more in storage), My main tank is my 110 gallons(416.3953 liters I think? I used a online converter) goldfish tank, yes goldfish. Fancy goldfish to be precise. Right now I have 3 goldfish. When I am done stocking I will have 6 goldfish total.

My Ryukin, Kyro http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s323/dakotak_01/IMG_2612-1.jpg

My second tank is my 2.45 gallon snail tank. I have two blue apple snails in it. Once they get a bit bigger they will wither get a 10 gallon with other snails or go into my goldfish tank. Excuse the dirtiness please. It has been cleaned since then.

My third tank is my 5 gallon betta tank, it was my brothers betta but he neglected him so I took over his care.

My fourth tank is my 10 gallon hospital tank. I use it to treat sick fish or new fish to make sure they are healthy before introducing them into my main tank. That way I don't spread sickness or parasites to my healthy fish. Unfortunately Kyro is in the hospital tank. He has cysts and a bacterial infection. Fortunately neither are deadly at the current stage and I am treating both with mediated food and fish safe salt.

This is a basic evolution of my tank over the past year. I'm still improving. :3

I've been fishkeeping for over 15 years now, I've had Oscars, florida gars, silver and a blue arowanas, angelfish etc, But Since i got married I scaled everything down a bit .. My loving and patient hubby understands my love for fish -which is why i have a 55 gallon in the bedroom with 2 butterfly koi and a calico goldfish.

the tank after i filled it up, let it filter and in the process of setting up the rest of the plants.http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/283039_4081242382196_1973150883_n.jpg

Depends on how much you want to spend on filtration, how many time a week you want to do a water change and if you want to be able to have a planted tank.
If you go with goldfish I would go with 3 or 4 fancy goldfish in a 50( double tail, they are the smaller kinds) and you should have the tank over filtered. They are related to carp and get big and make a lot of waste, the biggest was 17 inches when he died. I have 3 filters on my tank, they all add up to 290 gallons worth of filtration and around 803 GPH(gallons per hour) and do weekly water changes of 30-50%. Once I am fully stocked I will need to do twice a week. Don't worry, all the water gets reused. I put them on my and my mothers plants so we don't waste water and I have hopes of having an aquatic garden one day and the fish tank water will go to that. Goldfish will eat just about all of the plants you put in there, they love plants. XD

Tropical you could have quite a few fish in there(depending on the types of course) and you could keep lots of plants. Most of the smaller tropical fish don't have quite as big of a bioload as goldies do so you can be more lax with filtration.

If you want more info on goldfish this is a lovely site to go to. :)

Thanks! I think I'm going to go with the tropicals so I can get some variation of fish in there. :)
