Dear Dixon,
Thanks for the reply. I spent a bit of time one day getting lost in washington looking for monument aquatics ( I was asking people directions as I didnt have the address with me.) I'll pop in soon . I also like dropping into fish alive, I have seen a shop advertised in the kenton area (I think ) I'll have to find that. I'm interested in horticulture so found Paddock farm by chance, which changed my views of having a pet fish to having some interesting compatible companions as well the knock on is resulting in me going fish mad !
I'm after probably just one more fish before I get a larger tank but worry about my ornate birchir eating them. A Hoplosternum catfish is working well as is a Hujeta Characin ( though larger bodied fish than him have been eaten and he does look like an elongated white bait ) I saw your pic. of a Datnoides would you think one would be compatible. Cheers John.

forget monument the fish stocking is basic to say the least.
a dat would be a good addition.
