Hey RM.

Well.....
Are you thinking more in line of a general cummunity tank, or species
tank?
=============================
I can't make up my mind. Right now I have the 4 platys from the other tank
in it along with plants that needed thinning and a few large decorative lava
rocks. Now that I'm using rain water to dilute our liquid rocks I have a
larger base of fish to choose from. I did lose the last cory. I started
with 4 in the other tank but they never did well and I'm not sure why. Could
the clown loaches have out competed them for food that hit the bottom? My
water is now at PH 7.4 - down from 8.2+.
