yeah you're right and i guess you'll put in your tank what ever YOU want.
to ME a tank with a few large fish is more attractive, I think a 300 is too big a tank to keep herds of fish. i, again it's just me saying this, think that a 75 or a 100 is good for that ( I just can't justify spending a grand or more on a huge tank for little fish)
to each his own and all, but, yeah you did a really good job with that tank. and yes in heavily planted tanks with small fish do look better (large fish just ruin it visually) i love the lillies. maybe put a honey gourami in there. (can you tell i love gouramis yet? lol)
besides i really don't want to make enemies just because i'm inarticulate or say wrong things at the wrong time.
