A really cute teeny catfish who's species I've forgotten (started with a J, was maybe 3/4" long full grown)
possibly more I've forgotten

Right now I'm sticking to one tank, but if I ever set up another, it will be my 20 long and it will be a river tank with hillstream loaches and other fish that like high currents.
 
Wow, this is great! I hope in the near future to have a rift valley tank, possibly tang, and a shellie tank, but I have to move slowly;
my husband thinks I'm over the top, already. Wait 'til I show him this thread.
