Re: [GSAS-Member] Big Tank Suggestions

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

I'm probably the only one that would do this, but a happy little group of

those bright orange fish are just incredible! And, I go for the simple
things like shubunkins and comets. Oh well, I tried (grin).

LOVE a 250 tank to grow up in....they are in a 150g right now)
