Though Ive been keeping killifish for quite a while, I'v always had a ragtag
collection of small tanks and random filters for them. They've been sitting on
steel shelves in a back room. Looks rather untidy.
Last week I went out and bought a "killie condo" at Fish Heaven in Malibu,
after craving it for weeks and weeks. This thing is a giant supertank that
stands about 6 ft high and 5 or 6 ft wide, built entirely of molded acrylic,
that has 28 individul tanks in it. The condo tank is plumbed for air hoses,
overflow drains, and reverse-flow UG all with transparent acrylic pipes that
re molded right into the body of the tank. You can't even see them.
It's best to have just 3 killies in each tank (2 femails and 1 male), so if
you want to keep a lot of killies and breed them, in the past you had to
have a lot of tanks. This condo tank solves the floor space problem, looks
nice enough to be in my living room, and cost only about as much as a used
car. In a few months I'll post my impressions of how well it has worked out.

Bill, you really have no shame whatsoever, do you?
