	Need Upper Level Fish For Asian Tank...
Brian1216 Hobbyist Posts: 97 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Apr-2005	I have a 29 gallon asian themed tank with 3 Gold Barbs, 4 Rosy Barbs and 7 Tiger Barbs. The problem is that the fish mostly feed in the bottom part of the tank and it does not give a balanced look to the tank. The upper level is so empty looking. I know i am fairly well stocked but is there anything else i could put in to fill out the top portion? Thanks.

I can't think of many other fish that are Asian, commonly sold, and work in a 29 gallon aquarium... -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

They occupy the top when feeding and otherwise on occasion, which usually means when their never ending "Play Catch" game brings them there .
