Re: [GSAS-Member] Broken glass cover
John, I had a Kuhli and the only time I ever saw him was when I tore down the
tank. If you want a fish that you'll be able to actually "see", I'd stick with
the clown or yoyo. Just MHO
Growing old is inevitable; growing up is optional.

Thank you each of you who gave me a recommendation on using acrylic
covers, and you too, Bob, for offering the material. I called the local
glass
shop, and they will have a 7.5 x 22.75 x 3/16 tempered glass cover for

that will fit in the existing hinge perfectly, next week, for under $7.
I decided on glass in the end, even though glass filters out most UV,
which plants
need, because I am getting a 4-bulb light, that is bound to heat up
more than
my current light.
My daughter gets to choose between the clown loach and the yo-yo loach.
Would the coolie loach also be a good choice?
