My plan [21 Jan 2006]: Fish
This is a list of animals that I wish to keep in the tank. This will change
as more species will become more of less available.
Fish: Since my aquarium has no top cover, I will need not
to choose fish that are a high risk to jumping. Water temperature and hardness
is a factor as well. (Rule for Captivity: one inch of fish
for every 1 gallon of water.)
