Re: [GSAS-Member] Seeking a Fish Suggestion

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

I don't know how large your Burmese border loaches are....I suppose there
is the potential that they'd eat micro-rasboras. I've got several
exclamation-point rasboras (a Boraras) with my 4 Botia striata (zebra
loaches) without problem in a heavily planted 10 gallon tank. My loaches
are about 2 1/2 - 3".

For those unfamiliar with the teeny rasboras, check out:

for a few of the brightest. In the past, exclamation-point rasboras were
relatively common. I got mine at Blue Sierra (Issaquah). Now that I've got
3 planted tanks without fish....maybe 4 if all the red cherry shrimp in
one bit the dust....I may need to check out fish stores again. It's been a
couple YEARS since I was store hopping except for shubunkin shopping
earlier this year when I didn't allow myself to look at anything else
(sigh).  I suppose that means I need to dig out some sponge filtration and
heaters for those tanks (weak grin). Ummmmm....those boxes are 'somewhere'
in the garage....
