Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll have to take my son to the store and run a few of the ideas by him and see what he thinks. Thanks for always being so helpful everyone!

I think the main thing he wants is just something that looks different than what he has/had. When we were at the lfs today he was pointing out the flame dwarf gouramis (we have a powder blue dwarf gourami) as well as a number of other tetras, guppies, pretty much anything and everything but the...

It's been awhile since I have posted. Things were going well with my tank until a week ago. I have a 10G tank with 3 julii cories, 1 male dwarf gourami, and 1 female dwarf gourami. Last week the female dwarf gourami got dropsy and died. So now I am looking for suggestions to replace her. I...

Well, I thought I'd update on how my dwarf gourami is doing and see if anyone else had any thoughts. Once I gave him some blood worms he started having a very healthy appetite even for flakes. Now, however, he seems to have gotten picky again and he'll take one bite of the flakes and once he...

Thanks for the book suggestions. I don't have a good basic book and need to get one. I think if I want two gouramis I need to stick with a male and female pair. The big question is can I find a female?

Thanks for the replies. I think I will try a different type of food and see if that kickstarts his appetite. How do you feed peas? He doesn't seem to have protruding eye nor does he seem to be rubbing himself against anything. Sometimes I think his stomach looks a little fat but I don't...

I just noticed there was an unhealthy fish forum so I posted this over there too. Thanks!

Sorry, I posted this in the getting started forum first and then noticed this forum. A quick review of what I had/have. I had 2 serpae tetras that I got about 1 month ago. Friday I got 3 more serpaes and a dwarf gourami. The serpaes were beating up on the gourami so I took all of the serpaes...

You have all been helping me with stocking my 10 gal but now I think I may have a problem. A quick review of what I had/have. I had 2 serpae tetras that I got about 1 month ago. Friday I got 3 more serpaes and a dwarf gourami. The serpaes were beating up on the gourami so I took all of the...

I'm glad we decided to go with the cories. They are cute and a lot of fun to watch. I've checked to LFS and haven't had any luck finding a female dwarf gourami. Has anyone ordered fish online and had good luck with that? talloulou~ I've read that keeping 2 male dg in a 10 gal doesn't allow...

Hi, I wrote a few days ago about my 10G that had two serpae tetras in it and my plans to get a few more. I asked what you all thought about tankmates including the possibility of a dwarf gourami. Well, I got 3 more tetras and caved and got the gourami too. It didn't work. The tetras beat...

Thanks for the advice. I have a question about the ghost shrimp. Do they contribute the same load to the tank that fish do? In other words, does 1 inch of shrimp equal 1 inch of fish using up 1 gal of capacity? Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your replies. I have had the tetras for 3 weeks but honestly I didn't learn that I needed to cycle the tank until just recently so I know I need to buy water test kit and check that out before I add anything else. It kind of sounds like getting a gourami may be pushing...

Hi, I'm kind of new to all of this and was looking around the internet for some help and came across this forum. I've found some great info but was hoping I could ask a specific question and get some feedback. I'm looking for some advice on stocking a 10G. I currently have 2 serpae tetras...
