Does it count by total number of things holding water or gallonage?I cant have tanks everywhere this time,which is ok,because now I can focus on upgrading the ones I have.Here is my side of the office:

Cant tell from the pic(bright lights,haha)but its wall to wall.You can kinda see my betta containers too.Please excuse the lack of opacity,its from scrubbing them.
I have a 25 and 29 gallon,then the betta barracks consisting of 13 containers(its a PITA to do daily WCs)in here.i have a three gallon not setup and a ten gallon,not set up.Then in the living room I have a three gallon and a five gallon.

So my solution,when you run out of horizontal space,build up.

BTW,The gourami is a very handsome fellow!

Bev that's an awesome setup. I'm moving in when my wife kicks me out.

Yeah if I could have the basement (roommate currrently calls his bedroom) I would build up for sure.

I get distracted from the t.v. by the tanks that are to the right of the room and my husband rolls his eyes and is like, "stop looking at the tanks!" Lol, he keeps thinking I'm looking over at him and he gets all freaked out wondering why I keep looking at him, then he realizes I'm looking at the tanks.

So the eggs turned into little wrigglers today and already both parents are on the case being extra protective. I can honestly say they seem to be more focused this time around and saw fanning of the eggs which i hadnt seen the first time around.

Ill put pictures below in a second

Picture 1 taken a matter of hours before the eggs 'hatched'



It doesnt look to clear but it really does depict exactly how it looked, the eggs if you look carefully have changed from the light brown/beige to a beige with a very dark brown stripe down the middle. This signified the eggs fry were starting to break through the egg.



Picture 2 shows the first depression right by the rock the eggs were on behind a plant (the fry are so small its hard to see but its the slight fuzz underneath the branch of the plant)




Picture 3 Shows one of the parents guarding the wrigglers depression




Picture 4 shows the mess my rams make when making new depressions (quite literally sprays of the seclusion area sand everywhere)




Picture 5 shows the new area the parents moved the wrigglers to (this you can barely see anything) the purpose of this photo is to show just how small these fry are even laying on top of the gravel you just can barely see them (the fry are in the white stone area that has the one random red stone in the middle and also just a couple stones back you can see a group of the fry more clearly its the browny sort of fuzz)

Congrats on the new rams, I'm trying to set up a pair, but am having trouble finding females. I had a question though, what other fish do you have in the tank, have the parents caused any injuries to them?
