Thanks all! It's fun watching it come together even though it's soooooo opposite of my personal taste in fish tanks.
I like the sparkling gourami suggestion, if it was for me!! I think my nieces will enjoy a betta more though, they're just so big and flashy.
Tank is clear, seeded with a sponge from an already active Aquaclear 20, and now home to 5 corydoras habrosus!
It took me something like 30 minutes to catch those darn catfish from my (heavily) planted 29 gallon. Every time I move a fish out of my main tank I swear never again....ended up doing a minor rescape in my 29 gallon since I had move so much stuff.
5 corys because that's all I could catch. I feel sorry for the lone habrosus stuck in my 29 gallon and his pygmaus cohorts, but not too sorry after today.
