********

I will be adding one more type of fish but I don't know what yet. I do want to stick with a fish from the Columbia region since that seems to be a running theme here. Or at the very least South America. Some of the other fish I am interested in are White Skirt Tetras, Lemon Tetra and Rummy Nose Tetras. I also have looked at adding albino Tiger Barbs or albino Cherry Barbs, but both of these are from Asia areas which is keeping those firmly in the not sure/don't think so category.

Wish I could think of a good solo fish from South America. I would love to a single largish 3-5 inch fish as a "centerpiece". I was thinking of an Angel but turns out they aren't very solitary and the Colombians would probably munch on their fins.

More fish to come as the search continues!
