Hi All, just thought I'd post a new topic here... it is a shooting idea right? (I hope).

Do you have a fish tank? POST IT! I think there are others that want to see how nice your fish tank is... also with fish moving it may be a challenge, what do you think?

I've had 4 foot tank for yonks! my oldest fish are clown loaches, about 7 years old now.. I will try to find a pic.

I ordered a new 5 foot custom built one arriving tomorrow so I can't meet up for the AW Ferry Hop, but when complete will post some pics.

Would love to see your tank

Two pics of my Firemouth (Cichlid) still trying to locate pics of my old tank...

Awesome stuff Trieu - I have nearly bought a new tank several times over the last year, then I get 2nd thoughts....

Our 5 x 2 x 2.5 Saltwater Reef Tank



Our Brand new 2 x 2 x 2 cube that will also be a salt water reef. Water only went in on Sunday

Gotta do it Geoff, it is so rewarding... I love having a tank... BTW the new tank will be at the in-laws.

I am expecting my own tank to be atleast 8 foot.... ATLEAST!!

DVIV, woah... now that maze of pipes is a set up and a half!

Love the Marine tank, the colours are amazing.

For the time being, I'll stick to fresh water

For some reason, I rarely get good shots of my tanks - the whole tanks - but I have no trouble getting great shots of the inhabitants.

Here are some tank shots, but as I said, they aren't great and some are quite old.

Thanks! It took me a looooong time to get that all set up (did all the plumbing myself )

Some inhabitants:

Holy smokes .... all I've got is a few goldfish in the garden pond!

I don't think the fish would appreciate you shooting their tank - it might make a few leaks

I used to have cichlids, but had a few issues back in April and they started dying off - haven't refilled the tank since moving, but will do so eventually.

my tank is the bestest ever!

i know where to go for fish tank advice now

Dviv and ATJ - what amazing tanks. Real labours of love. I've always wanted a set up like that but would probably have to pay someone to do it for me... all I know about keeping fish relates to crumbs, salt and lemon wedges!

Funny you should say that Gary - it certainly is. I'm at my desk typing between spoonfuls of a decidely average microwave curry...

There are other types?

I've had an aquarium for the past ~2yrs, and so far no fish. No intention of getting any, it's strictly a plant-only aquarium.

My liking of daytrips/weekends away from home and being overseas for months at a time generally deter me from keeping fish that require daily feedings.

Once I clean off a month's worth of green algae, I'll take a shot of my setup.

and here i was thinking it would be a pic of someone shooting a fish tank.

water cascading everywhere, glass exploding etc etc

I hope Zeddy reads this thread and posts a photo of his tank, it's a beauty.

You're mad buddy

Okay here is my tank.... *grins*




and this is my favourite fish... his name is 'Freddy the fish'... alternately I call him Fred, Fredster and Fredly.... He doesnt really like being called Fredly and will turn his back to me when I do this ..*nods*....I know how to push fish buttons...Fred is a double tailed goldfish....However when around the bowl we call him Shark....it improves his self esteem...

Don't worry, one may evolve given enough time....

Ok some images from my tanks, although i feel the same as ATj never happy with full tank shots.









And from a mates tank

to this in 7 months




I'm about 2 weeks away from filling her up
and then all systems go go go


here's a detailed chain of events

A few of mine...
i have both trop and marine...unfortunately my marine tank is my first and i suffer teething problems all the time

Not quite up to the standard of Andrew or David, but here is my main tank. Tropicals (marine is waaaaay too hard ) - four Gourami's, two schools of tetras and two bristle nosed catfish to keep the tank clean (and a few live plants to complete the ecosystem)



And yes it needs a top up!

Here's my aquarium - initially had 4-5 plants, all but 1 is now dead.

How best to combine my two hobbies than to talk about fish on the photography forum...Am I heaven ????

This is my little 2 X 1 X 1... Kinda overstocked Sep 07

 BTW If anyone wants cuttings of Java fern, I always have a plant or two I can give ya..

Here you are Surenj, and all.
