I added a female betta with my GBR and they did not like eachother at all

I have never had a dwarf gourami be the least bit territorial..not one little bit. Just my experiences with them though.

The betta has to flowy of fins making it prone to getting fin nipped but the dwarf cichlid, a kribs would have demolished that thing, especially a male IMO.
The sane thing would happen with an angel fish most likely especially in a smaller tank

i've ruled out the angel and the betta already now im thinking about a dwarf gourami

Mine are fine no fin nipping anywhere they will swim right by each other when the gourami wants to hide under something. No aggression comes from my ram other then to the female but they were sleeping beside each other at my night check up( seeing it's 11:30pm) so maybe that's a good sign

 

[allaboutfish]

ill probably just do it. ill have 2 rock structures and 2 pieces of driftwood plus heavily planted

so homedog what do you think about this one
6-male guppies,
6-white skirt tetras,
1-albino bristlenose pleco,
6-juli corys,
1-apisto viejita,
2-german blue ram ( they pair there whole lives and i think it'd be cool to see there relationship) they wouldnt get aggressive would they?

 

[allaboutfish]

look this site says german blue rams are hardy hary har har
German Blue Ram (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) | Tropical Fish Profiles

Make sure your plants are to the side if the tank, your white skirts will like the open space to swim. They are speedy things. Your rams will get a bit nippy during spawning. You can try and add more rocks to try and create more hiding spots. your pleco will chill in your rock structures as long as he can fit also.

cooolill definently have alot of rocks and DW with big plants in the back and smal in the front

 

[Hobgob]

I wish I had a digital camera to post picture of my tank and my dads, but I can't get my sisters and I don't wanna by one. Also my dads has blueishgrean algea right now from poor pwc's and I got brown algea startting up and I don't know if it's from to little of light, to much, or excess of silicates( what ever it is). So they aren't the best right now but it's all under control so they look good

 

[allaboutfish]

ah do you have a phone?

 

[Hobgob]

It's just a crappy samgsung hype

Yes, I think that would be fine! That's my exact stocking just with different fish!

 

[allaboutfish]

cool!! what are you gonna do with the fry?

 

[Homedog98]

I'm going to just let whatever happens happen. They get eaten, free food. If they survive... I guess the sister gets a tank! If I'm really low on $, and need something though, I'll sell the fry for 3 bucks a pop. (to RESPONSIBLE owners of course) I have a 10 gallon QT that I'm setting up, so I'll catch who I can catch, and grow them out in there.

 

[allaboutfish]

awesome i might start breeding juli corys, bettas, and german blue rams

 

[Homedog98]

I'm just gonna get my tank to ideal breeding conditions, and let them go nuts. Lol. Whatever happens happens, and whoever is the strongest, smartest, and best adapted, deserves the right to live In my aquarium(s).

 

[allaboutfish]

haha awesome

 

[allaboutfish]

ok so a safer choice i might do a pair of apistos plus the apisto viejita. i'll do this if severum mama still has the pairs of apistos

 

[Jason7894561230]

I think getting a pair of apsito will work much better than adding another type, but the rest of the stocking list sounds good!

 

[allaboutfish]

yea im gonna see if i can change my order (from severum mama) to a pair of apistos and then keep the rest
