	Final stocking?
mindbent Hobbyist Posts: 99 Kudos: 42 Votes: 0 Registered: 27-Feb-2004	Anybody have some ideas on a good schooling fish? I was thinking about a dozen red lazer tetras. I have the background thats blue up top and black on the bottom. Look below to see what I have so far. I don't want anything bigger than 1 1/2 inches if possible.

mindbent Hobbyist Posts: 99 Kudos: 42 Votes: 0 Registered: 27-Feb-2004	Thanks for the ideas on stocking. I've been away for awhile. Igot rid of the danio I had and got 12 white clouds. I have 1 Bala that is around 3" and the other about 2" long. I know I will have to get rid of them soon. My wife and son like them so I will have to convince them that it's for the best. All else is well. My tank is a peacefull tank. I would say I am fully stocked. [span class="edited"][Edited by mindbent 2004-07-24 04:41][/span]
