Hooray! New Tank Syndrome is over. After much rapid death in the
tank, water levels have normalized and we've been 3 weeks without
death. What is appearing now is a good run of algae.

I had a pleco before and until NTS took him away, he did a pretty good
job or houekeeping. But I was wondering what other options I have in
a 12 gal tank with now 4 Barbs (2 Albino, 1 Rosy, and 1 Tiger)--all
survivors of the NTS.

A shrimp would be fun, but it seems like a possible agression
situation. The LFS was not big on cats last time I asked for a
housekeeper. In this setup, what would you do?

Thanks.
