Spongeandgary, could you explain why you feel the tank is overstocked with only three fish? Community Cichlid, the Cockatoo is pretty feisty. You think the gourami would survive? Thank you both for your help, and look forward to your answers.

Added a Cockatoo Cichlid to my 12 gal tank which already contained a year old Honey Gourami and two Black Phantom Tetras. The gourami promptly died from dropsy, I think. It was perfectly healthy before adding the cichlid. Getting ready to go "fishing" soon and this is still my question...

I keep asking about a Honey Gourami because I had a healthy one for a year (which constantly harassed the poor tetras). Several weeks ago I added the Apisto after which the gourami promptly died, although I saw very little aggression from either. Are the gourami and apisto incompatible in this...

I have a 12 gal Eclipse system (running 10+ years) containing one Cockatoo Cichlid (Apistogramma Cacauoitides) and two Black Phantom Tetras. About 7 inches of fish in total. What would you add? More tetras? A Honey Gourami? Something else? Thanks.
