5 guppies

Gourami might nip the guppies, also guppies breed like crazy unless you are keeping all males.

All males. And the gourami has been fine. I've had for 5 days now. We will see though.

What is your water change schedule going to look like? Gouramis are big waste producers and poor water quality will make fish irritable and more likely to nip.

Every Sunday I change.

 

[SaraB]

Yeah but how much water do you change at a time?

20 to 30 percent.

 

[SaraB]

Maybe go with 50%

Maybe go with 50%

OK. Just wondering why does this help?

It's a small tank and a lot of fish poop/uneaten food. I do a 25% change twice a week, you could too if you find that easier than doing a full 50% in one sitting.
