It's inhumane to keep animals as pets.

He seems very well taken care of.
>>736923361
Fuck off PETA nigger. I own an animal that is endangered in it's native population and the only reason they arent dying out is captive breeding.

>>736923226
why does your school of cory cats consist of only 3 emerald green and 1 albino?

next you're going to show us a 10 gallon tall tank when they need at least a 20 gallon long

Actually its a 55 gal with a school of 12. 5 green corys, 1 albino, 2 peppered and 4 panda corys. Let me show you. Its still a bit overstocked because they keep breeding. I'm in the process of filling it while I'm responding to this thread.

Nice OP
This is my 75g, which is a little crowded. I also have a 30g but it's empty right now because I don't want to collapse the top floor of my house.

I've downsized recently because I know im about to move again, but currently I have 2 55g tanks, one with the cory cats and one lone algae eater and charity case goldfish, and the other with two violet gobies. I also have a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko, a baby red argentine tegu and a tropical girdled lizard that I'm about to buy a harem. I'll drop some pictures as I respond

Nice! I love angels and mollies. (Or are those cherry barbs that are blurry? Hard to tell) I had to sell all the livebearers in my brackish tank to cut down on the ammonia spikes. Ever consider adding some java ferns to offset the extra bodies?

You're damn right it is.. I had to stop my fiance from getting me a 100g reef tank for christmas because it just isn't financially sustainable. Breeding lizards, bugs and fish isn't really either, though..

This is the tropical girdled lizard (also commonly called an Armadillo Lizard) and his name is Herbert.

Loaches are a menace for sure. The cories I've got root around the same way but obviously they're a bit smaller. Java ferns might still work though because they have a strong tap root and can be tied onto logs and rocks.

Hey there's some anubias and some big sword in there too. Let's see you do better with no ferts or co2. Besides, you can't keep discus with a goldfish. Go back to your basic bitch trend fish.

Talk to me when you are cultivating marcoalgae from local waterways to breed your copepods.

These two need a bigger tank and some pool filter sand. I hate setting up temporary tanks but they seem to be eating well still.
These guys are both rescues. I used to work at a LFS and people would buy them because they had the word "dragon" in their name but then would return them because they'd refuse to eat in fresh water.

gastropods are snails right? they're super hardy, you can basically use them to cycle your new sw tank.

You are right though they do seem pretty easy to care for. I love slugs

Probably 3 or 4. Tropical girdled lizards are one of few communal reptiles, and they give live birth. I have a larger tank to fill once I move and I want to watch them eat together

Tru dat. What are your plans?

good thing! im thinking about a terrarium with geckos/chameleon/small reptiles:

- shouldnt be to difficult/problematic species
- smaller than 0.25 m when mature
- gentle and ok with take out of terrarium
- intelligent (the more the better)

suggestions?

Cichlid tank. I find if you make a tank hyper aggressive enough they just keep to their own areas and things work out. Also tank is 90 gallons

>>736925972
Established in 2 months? Your shits gonna die.

>>736929112
Any time you mix species you are going to create competition, but if you feed them separately (time consuming) you can probably keep a few day geckos or some long-tailed lizards and anoles. They can be hand fed and made to be very tame. I also like crested geckos but im not sure if they are kept well in pairs. All the lizards I mentioned need at least 80% humidity, a tall tank and lots of foliage. Cresteds and day geckos eat fruit and some insects where as anoles and long tails are carnivores.

If you can find them, tropicle girdled lizards are incredibly intelligent and also fit the bill but while they can be tamed they have a mean bite.
>>736929164
They aren't mine. I wish! I snap pictures at a local pet store

>>736929183
Cichlids certainly work with hyper aggressive tanks because they're smart motherfuckers. They love broken pots and sword plants too, but they'll always rearrange shit so make sure to seal down any heavy rocks

Two months is pretty normal from what I've heard. Start with live rock and a sprinkle of food (maybe ammonia? Not sure if this works as well for saltwater) and one month later add plants. Another month of cycling after that and it should be ready for small inverts. Stop being such a contrarian dick

>>736930095
/ = or
onyl one species but like 3 or 4 of them.

girdled lizard is to much of a `tank´ imo but i like the shape.

>>736930674
Day geckos, anoles or long tailed lizards then. You can keep tropical girdled lizards in like a 40 gallon for like 3-5, but longtails would probably do in the tank size you mentioned

A good choice. I'd look into how many you can keep in the tank you're getting though.

what exactly is brackish?

got any pics?

and thanks, those mollies had several babies. started with 5 fish total, ending up giving away about 10

It means it has half marine salinity. The dragon gobies in the threadbare 55g is the brackish tank. This is the smaller dude, gyarados

>>736932683
Also i know the struggle with mollies. I ended up giving so many to my local fish store that they started having to refuse me.

>>736933027
i was excited for a bit when i learned i could sell babies for 1 -2 bucks to local shops.

didnt pan out that way though.

>>736932965
thats interesting. where is brackish water naturally located in the world? looks like swamp water maybe?

>>736933367
Coastal rivers, like the banana river on the east coast of florida. Anywhere where the ocean meets freshwater rivers flowing outwards. Lots of snakefish, shrimps and archerfish live there. Sadly many natural brackish water ways are being polluted by runoff from yards and agriculture

>>736933573

>>736934019
that sucks. but oh well. the worlds gonna change either way.

>>736934766
Heh. Thats true. Personally I hope humanity travels to other planets so the earth can bounce back a little (assuming the mass migration off the planet reduces the population drastically)

>>736935090
i dont think the transition would be so quick.
it would call into question the faith of the entire world. many structures would collapse. communities would protest. there would be tons of unrest.

im afraid a good portion of the planet would not want to leave, or even care for it at all.

>>736935522
Let's hope something happens that makes them want to leave, then. Nature will eventually reclaim the earth, if it isn't completely obliterated or stripped of it's atmosphere first

>>736936607
only time will tell anon. good luck to you. gotta go.

The tank finished it's nitrogen cycle a month and half in. 10 gallon tank, 15lb live rock and 25lb live sand. I just waited the extra 2 weeks to make it a full 2 months. I measured the water perimeters every other day. It's pretty simple. Shrimp bro is healthy AF! Have him for 3 weeks now. He just gone done molting yday.
