Re: [GSAS-Member] Mid-water fish

[Matt Staroscik <matt@wrongcrowd.com>]

Thanks for the ideas, I'm not familiar with some of those and will have to
look them up.

Right now, I just have 3 clown loaches, 2 blue botia, a couple of plecos, 1
bolivian ram, 1 ameca splendens, and a gold algae eater. Only the ameca
splendens ventures to mid-water or higher so the tank looks really empty.
(Well, the clown loaches have learned to go hang out in the floating log.
LOG!)
