	30g Stocking... I Want Something Different...
john.stone Banned Posts: 1600 Kudos: 2332 Votes: 18 Registered: 03-Apr-2003	Ok... Here I am again... With an empty 30g (36"x12" aquarium... Begging to be filled... I've had most everything common... Tetra... Barbs... Cories... Plecos... Loaches... Guppies... African Cichlids... So... I need something new... Something different... Something exciting.... I'd like something good sized, and possibly something smaller to go with it... A few stipulations however... They will need to be fine in a sparsely decorated aquarium, in fact, a bare aquarium with only a thin layer of sand would be ideal and I'd like them to be somewhat colorful or at least interesting to look at. If you can think of a fish that sounds like something I might want, let me know . (Sidenote: You might have seen my post in the marine forums, this is the same tank... I'm still on the fence about what to go with.) Last edited by john.stone at 23-Dec-2004 18:54

I think they are the most intresting fish to look at.
