My question. I have bought a divider for my 55 g tank and put him in it to keep him separated. Any ideas on how long I will have to keep him in there so he won’t chase the others? Or is it his personality? I have 3 females who are hiding from him. Story. I had a male gourami for 4 years who...

Hi, I have had my 55 gallon tank a long time but recently discovered ghost shrimp. I have a few Amanos but can’t find them often. Anyway, I’m wondering how to care for them because when I buy them about half disappear in the first weeks. I read somewhere they like brackish water. Could this be...

I was excited to find 4 of these at my local fish store and got all 4 . However I was shocked to find the next day that they were all pestering my pearl gourami, chasing after them and biting, sometimes to the point of hanging on while they were swimming away. So back to the store they went...

Hi All, I have 8 congo tetras in a 55 gallon tank. Been in there 7 months, 6 males and2 females. All had been well until this week, suddenly the males are all agitated and chasing each other around. No one getting hurt, just lots of chasing. I'm assuming it's got to do with breeding, although...

About 2 months ago I set up a new 55 gallon tank and in it have 8 congo tetras and 3 pearl gourami and a few smaller fish. I did a lot of research because I always want a peaceful tank. Things had been fine and the congos have grown fast and are quite active. So suddenly the 3 gourami are...
