Hi to all.  I'm setting up a 12x24x24 30g tank for multis. seeing as the tank is so tall I'm looking for suggestions for a high dwelling tank mate. Ideas?

high tanks can be a bit of a challenge for several reasons; shelldwellers dont really like to swim the 2 feet lol and because of the limited footprint, its hard to add another species besides dithers.

I would do something like

Multies
Dithers- depends on what you like, I like white cloud minnows and choprae danios but its up to you
and maybe a single rockdweller- not 100% sure on how this will turn out, individual fish differ from another. You may have one thats an @ss or you may end up with a mellow one.
