I don't have the space at present to keep anything going, and it would
be very difficult to do so since the move is only a few weeks away and
we're trying to get things ready. I should be up and ready to keep
some smaller tanks by the middle of June. Looking for 3 males and 2
females of each. This won't be for breeding, per se, but more for a
healthy balance. The tank is 4x3x30", so has plenty of space for the
ton of plants and the fish population.
