Yes! A big tank!

Wish I knew what kind of fish these are. I rescued them from a person who didn't know what they were getting into, nor how dfifficult it is to keep fish, learning about the nitrogen cycle and all that stuff.

This is an 85 gallon Vivarium that houses frogs, and hermit crabs as well as a variety of other fish.

After the eggs were laid, the male put them into his mouth where they hatched and then he garded them fiercely letting them out only after they were big enough to keep an eye on.

Both the male and female guard them, but it is primarily the males responsibility, or so it seems.

I've turned down offer for so many tanks, because I'm out of room. I have a small 25 gallon Hospital Tank, this Vivarium, and then a 140 gallon monster that covers another 10 feet of wall (inside the cabinate is the refugium where I brred snails, ghost shrimp, and guppies (mexican top fin minnows) for food for the puffer and other carnivours.

Thanx for looking!
