It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

Love the tank. The fish are amazing, love neons one of my favorite freshwater fish. Feels good to setup a new fresh water setup since I didn't have one anymore.
