If you plan on keeping that goldfish, it'll need a lot more room than the 1g bowl has. Are you keeping it?

3 tanks up and running, not much but are very interesting, the planted tank is cleared of the live bearers to accomadate cichlids, discus and an apisto, more to come. i am upgraiding to a very nice new filter. the twenty gallon currently has one pike one aequidens diadema a discus and one fat red tailed black shark. i may sell some of them (not the diadema or the pike). and the last and the least is a three gallon with guppies and platties.

58 currently w/ fish. Another 21 w/o fish. Once the new fish room is done somewhere around 110-115 total.

37 Tanks equaling 1,000 Gallons.
Future Expansion another 400 gals to increase Big Tanks (90+ gals.) to seven.
I currently maintain 200+ individuals that represent 35 species of fish, three of which are on the Red List.
I currently focus on African, Central, and South American Cichlids.

I maintain 24 tanks ranging from 10 to 160 gallon. The inhabitants are mainly cichlids from Lake Tanganjika (Tropheus, Simochromis, Neolamprologus...) but I find myself making more and more space available for some Central and South American cichlids.

Some pictures:
