Re: Tiny swamp fish communities.
As a long time lurker I may be able to offer some assistance here with the
tank problems. I work with a fellow who builds custom plex tanks. If there
is enough demand i.e. if he can build several tanks the same size the cost
comes down. Give me the size you need and I can get you a bid for one or
for multiples.
