I currently have an established 65 gallon tank with a comet goldfish and a pleco. Long story short, I also recently had to add a kissing gourami to the mix. She has only been there one day and shows a little aggression towards the comet, but the comet is quite a bit bigger and seems to hold its own.
Two questions:
1) is there anything I can do to help the gourami be more comfortable/stop kissing the comet? I read that they enjoy plants. The tank used to have plants but the fish eventually pulled them up or ate all their leaves so they didn’t thrive. I’m nervous about adding new live plants since I don’t know a lot about them or what species are best. I have some fake ones I can add.
2) the tank is pretty empty with just the three fish. Are there any good tank mates that I should look into? 65 gallons, 74-76 F, medium sized substrate, some decorations like caves.
Thanks for the help!
