Absolutely. The trick is to get them home. There have been a number of
threads on this list explaining how to do it
but I don't remember who wrote them. Was it Moon? Casper? I saw some
today infact in a 300 gal tall cylindrical tank.
There were about 15 of them schooling togeter. It looked really nice.
