Disaster averted

So I filled up the tank last Wednesday. Got to the top and the bitch started leaking. Just a small trickle but it meant I had to siphon out ALL the water. Luckily I had Jebus and Alan helping me.



Luckily the glass itself was fine, just a little crack in the silicon. Spent Friday spreading 2 types silicon over the whole edge of the tank to ensure it won't leak anymore.



Filled half the tank up today and it seems fine now. Also changed the water on my other tanks tonight.
In total I have 5 tanks at home - 1 Goldfish tank, 1 Freashwater, 2 fighting fish tanks and the 6ft marine. The goldfish and 1 of the fighting fish tanks are my dads so I don't have to maintain them luckily (even if the goldfish tank was my idea when I was 8).

My fighting fish's tank is 12Ls. I know some people say that fighters like small tanks etc but mine loves this giant one. Had him for over a year and he's had 3 tanks.



This is my freshwater tank. Read below to see how I ended up with this one:



This is my fighter Carpaccio. I got him when I started work at Mobility Engineering to keep me company. It wasn't until I got him that I ended up with this tank madness. For some reason I developed this crazy love for my fish. Maybe because hes the first pet I've really had that depends on me to feed it and change its water etc. My dog/cat have my parents or Alan to feed them and take care of them if I'm not there.



My next fish was this black widow tetra named Pistachio. I wasn't planning on another tank but Alan and I saw him at the pet shop eating the cutest way. The food is clearly way too big for his mouth but he refuses to let go of it. He would take a bite, it would float off and he would chase it again. Initially put him with Carpaccio in the big tank (since he's a non aggressive fish they should be fine with fighters) but the 2 days he was in there Carpaccio wouldn't stop attacking him. Eventually got the Freshwater tank for him and slowly started collecting Freshwater fish.

If Alan was a fish, He would be Pistachio:



I then got Pistachio a friend I named Cashew. Pistachio has same length stripes while Cashew has one longer than the other:



I then got 2 catfish named Praline and Nuget. I've managed to loose one of them (I have taken the tank apart and still can't find him!) so I will have to go get one more. This is the one left:



Finally, last week I got 2 of these:
