Hi Julie,
Thanks for the info. I'm moving a few miles down the road to
Keansburg, NJ, which is the area of the state that kind of sticks out
into the ocean. The species I'm after are...

M. bosemani
M. praecox
M. lacustris
G. incisus
M. duboulayi
M. fluviatilis
M. parkinsoni
M. trifasciata
M. herbertaxelrodi
M. lakamora

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.

Chris
