new tall tank suggestions
here it is, wanna get creative with scaping the tall tank, and lightly stocking it with top, mid, bottom dwellers. i like to keep regional fish(from the same area/environment.... been thinking, south american=top- hatchet fish, mid- skirt tetra, bottom- not sure yet, keep going back to a kuhli loach but thats south east asian and i wont see it much...

Cories really need length to swim in. How big is the tank? They do better in the longer ones rather than talls.

I don't think I would do cories or kuhlis in there  I don't know maybe I'm wrong about the kuhlis. The tank looks cool but it seems to be a bit tricky to stock! I'm interested to know what you decide on

yes, it has been a touchy subject before...lol. they are difficult. i have a twenty high with a bunch of mollies that are breeding like crazy that i could put in, or a gold fish that would prefer either tank...hmmm and a puffer that needs an uprade...

you know I was thinking about mollies actually and platties because they are the only fish really that I have that I see utilizing the entire tank which seems like a real good thing for a tank like that.

ya, either my black moore, or my puffer will get it i think...i could move my handful of platys to a 10g (from a 14g) let my puffer take over it, and let him chow on all the nuisance snails, and give the tall tank to goldie. hmmm
