yeh im gonna go to lfs tomorow to get some greens, they are selling little chunks of driftwood with some sort of plant growing off it for $14,

not to sure yet, i was think archer fish or something but i think they are brackish,

anyone with ideas or surgestions on stocking or anything feel free, any advice is apreciated

hmm i find aussie natives are verry gloomy to have in tanks so i wouldnt have a clue.
tho archerfish would be good how many are you planning on keeping?
