Restazonia I started this page to share my passion for tropical fish of the Amazon. Thus RESTon and amAZONIA.

Progress on the 'mini' fish room rebuild. Fish rack in corner to hold two 15g aquariums on the bottom and five 5g aquariums on top. One more coat of paint and then I move the three tanks in the garage to their new home. One tank has Apistogramma leulingi fry - need to set up brine shrimp hatchery someplace.

More than adequate work space next to sink with good storage below.

Fish room downsized to 53 square feet space. Don't be impressed by first photo - it is a pano of all 53"sq.

Note floor: cobalt blue flecked garage paint. Walls painted light blue with paint leftover from bathroom remodel.

Plan to install leftover subway tile around sink with some fish themed Portuguese tiles picked up when we lived there '82-'85. Will repaint white--to match baseboard trim--the stand for the Oceanic 33 cube. Space below can hold three 2.5g tanks.

Well the deed is done. Everything--except air handler--stripped from the former 100 plus tank fish room.

Fish Room update: decision made to remodel basement. Accordingly, all fish tanks to be decommissioned for a month or two. Rehomed the Rio Nanay angels and hoping to get some F-1s back when the Perfecto 5' 125g is re-established. Will probably move the two 15s to the counter in the garage as I want to kept breeding my last pair of Apistos from Madre de Dios and keep a few of the exotic livebearers. The 33 cube will be emptied and stored. That's it - four fish tanks after well over 100 a few years ago.

Philosophically I look at it this way: I have the best fish room in the world several times a year that I get to share with old and new friends. I'm referring to the splash page picture at the top of the Restazonia FaceBook page.

Next visit: August 3 - 18.
