After a visit to Rachel's today I've decided to go with 30 Espei Rasboras rather than the hemigrammus bleheri. They're seriously tight schoolers! I'll probably pick up the rasboras tomorrow. Living close to York, PA, has its advantages!

Also got 12 zebra loaches, a dozen amanos and another 24 RCS. It's truely amazing how this many critters can completely disappear in a heavily planted tank. You actually have to look for a while to find any of them!

Jim,

You may also try Rachel's green babultis. They have a really nice green color. Also, I have a leftover zebra/hovering loach; if you want it, let me know and I will give it to you at this month's meeting (provided I can catch her-yes, it's a she).

Hi Viktor

She said you were on your way as we were leaving. Come on, spill it. What did you buy?

If she needs a home I'd be happy to take her!

Wow! Are you starting another tank? Your home was beautiful with all the tanks.

No, nine tanks are enough for me.

I lost all my shrimp due to the negligence of our house sitter over the seven-week period while we were away.

Viktor, that's awful! What did she do? Pitch pennies into the tank?

Who else among the GWAPA-folk is doing things with new critters?

Just was watching the tank and the zebra loaches are schooling like mad! Back and forth across the front of the tank 10 out of the 12 are having a great time and showing the other critters how it's done. Hovering? What's that?

They've even got a c.habrosus rolling with them along with several other tank mates.

It's like everyone at the party got drunk and decided to join in the line dance!
