10g tank cheapo aqua tech 5-15 hob filter. water parameters are
0 ammonia
0 nitrites
20~ nitrates
ph 7.0
temp 80f
1 dwarf gourami
3 male guppys
1 platy
my dwarf gourami doesnt run to food right away but eventually gets to it on the bottom usually. his mouth is constantly opening and closing and he is always going up top to eat some air. is it normal for their mouths to open and close constantly and are they supposed to be going up for air every minute. other question is my guppys sometimes will go up and down against the glass really fast to the point where they bang themselves against the gravel, one time one knocked himself unconscious almost and just sat at bottom for a minute straight. last question is i read you should feed the gourami more than just flake food so he can keep his color so i feed him tetra flake food with tetracolor flake food(once in a while), is that enough for him or should i buy the freeze dried blood worms?
