Love my neon swordtails. They are so fun to watch.

I picked up a pair of female Opaline today. We'll see how it goes. If they do good I will pick up a new pair of Pearls and give up on the Dwarf. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

That is a bummer. I really like the GBR too

No, I got the pearls at one store and then a little after they died I got the DG at a diff. LFS. I have heard a lot of mixed reviews on the Dwarf G. A lot of people saying the die often and w/out notice but i have not heard that about the Pearls.

Hello, So in the last three or four weeks I have killed 3 gourami. I am not a new tank owner, I have had several large and small tank with a variety of fish but never gourami. The first two were Pearl Gourami. I got them together and they seemed fine for a few weeks. I started treating the tank...

So after putting the carbon filter back in last night to remove the Melafix. Samantha looks much better today..... I really do think it was the Melafix that killed my healthy Gourami Darren....

So I checked the water every day this week (before he got sick and after) and they were fine. I posted this yesterday.... Darren died and his friend Samantha isn't looking good. I did some research and found that it could be the Melafix. Others have reported similar problems with labyrinth fish...

So Darren died and his friend Samantha isn't looking good. I did some research and found that it could be the Melafix. Others have reported similar problems with labyrinth fish and Melafix.. I am no expert and I am currently using Melafix in a different tank (with no labyrinth fish)...

The tank is 45G tall. It is done cycling. I did test water conditions and they are all normal. Other than the fungus issue the other fish in the tank look fine. Have two neon sword tails great color and activity as well as the molly.

Hi , for my two cents I really like the T5HO dual fixture. I use it for my 45G tall. One white, one pink both 6500k and plants are looking great.

Pearl Gourami discolored Help! Hi, So I got 2 Pearl Gourami about a week or so ago. Really pretty fish. I have a few questions. They are spending most of their time at the bottom of the tank. They do go up for air as the should but go strait back to the very bottom.... Is that a problem? I...

Thanks guys that is a lot of help. I have had several large tanks but never with tetra and never really a community tank. Always very aggressive fish. So this is a new adventure for me. Thanks again

Do you think the tetra will go after the Pearl Gourami, Dwarf G, and Blue Ram? I know they are all larger than the serpaes but I still don't want them to get picked to death. Also do you think it was because I only added one really small neon (like do you think he looked like food)? I also added...

So I have 5 serpae tetra in a 45g tall tank. I got 3 bleeding hearts yesterday from the lfs. Today I noticed some white on both of the eyes of one of the Bleeding Hearts so I called the store. I plan on taking him back tomorrow but in the mean time I thought I should quarantine him. I have a...

So I think I got it. Working on stocking options for a 45g tall well planted tank. Looking for any foreseeable problems I would have with these: 1 Leopard pleco- trading him when to big, 5 Serpae tetra 3 Bleeding hearts 2 Pearl gourami 1 Dwarf gourami 2 Blue rams 1 Loach 2 dwarf frogs 3 small...

Hi All, I have 5 Serpea. I wanted to add 2-3 more but I really like the Bleeding hearts. If I add 3 Bleeding hearts will the Serpea and Bleeding hearts all school together or am I just creating two small schools instead on one larger one? Thanks

Hi, so still working on my stocking options. I have a 45g tall planted tank. I like the Neon, flame, powder, and standard Dwarf Gourami. Can I have all of them? They would all be male as they have the color. At this time there is only 2 dwarf frogs, 2 snails, 1 lep. pleco, and 2 zebra danios...

Ya, I have the mesh all ready to go and I know how to put it on rocks and drift wood but I was hoping to let the little ball I have grow into a bigger ball so that I have more before it did that. That way I would have enought to cover everything. Right now I only have enough to cover a small...

So, I purchased a small amount of riccia fluitans to grow and then use to carpet my tank and a few other random things (heard it can double in a week). At first I just dropped it in the tank thinking it would float in a blob nicely at the top. It only took about 3sec for it to find it's way in...

Hi, so I am working on planning a new tank. Having a hard time picking tank mates. I am interested in the Blue Rams but only Cichlid I have had were Angels. Can I put BR w/Dwarf Gourami? Also do Blue Rams prefer to be the only ram in the tank or can I get 2 or 3. It is a 45g Tall planted tank...

Oscars are aggressive and can get very large. They will eat smaller fish. I had one with a Betta and when it got bigger it ate it. Silver Dollars and Bala do well with Angels not sure about other Cichlids.

Hi All, I am starting my first planted tank. I have built a CO2 system and I am using flourish. I know I am having some lighting issues but I have a new light on the way (should be here tomorrow). So in the last few weeks of poor lighting some of my plants have begun to get brown spots on the...

So I have had large tanks in the past and always w/Angels. Starting up a new tank (cycling right now) trying to plan out tank mates. I would really like a pair of Angles and either Blue rams or Dwarf Gourami. I don't know as much about BRams or DG. Can all 3 of these species live together? I...
