"Cephalopod Intelligence Test" & Other Aquaria

R. and I were supposed to go see Up last night, but when we got to the theatre, the projector had broken, so we went to the petstore instead. Looked at kittens, got a laser pointer for our cats, looked at fish and fishtank stands for the new 20-gal. aquarium that Thrud gave me before she moved, which I am going to start running through the nitrogen cycle this weekend. Met J. and W., who are thinking about getting a parakeet, and learned a lot about parakeet sexing.

I am thinking of making a tank full of tetras and other Amazonian fish. What do you think of this stocking scheme? (It's a 20 gal. long tank).

- Black Neon Tetras (6) - for cycling

- Neon Tetras (7)

- What kind of fish, snail, or shrimp should I get for an algae eater? I am thinking about 2 Oto catfish.
