Thanks for the advice.  I hate it when my fish die because the others kill 
'em.  The pet stores will say anything to get you to buy their fish.  I had 
this one guy trying to convince me that a fish could stay in a bag for a day. 
 Needless to say, I didn't risk it.
My gourami's aren't so bad.  They seem pretty mellow most of the time which 
is good since they're the biggest fish.  Kinda keeps the small ones in line 
without beating on them.  My barbs, however, are psychos.
