Re: [GSAS-Member] Bio/eco-sphere

I probably wouldn't chose a goldfish if I were you. If you don't know 
already goldfish want to grow to about 12" or more and you'll just end 
up stunting there growth. Goldfish are also very 'catholic' in their 
diet, and would probably end up wanting to munch your algae and the 
shrimp that are crawling around on it.

I would try a guppy or a real small barb of some sort (not tiger 
barbs!), or maybe even a white cloud or two(Tanichthys albonubes). 
Temperature would be something I would be paying close attention to.

Good Luck, Clay
