Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello All!
A friend of mine no longer wanted to take care of his aquarium, so he gave his fish away & gave me his tank! It's a beautiful 28g bow-front, w/ heater, hood, light & filter! I am so excited! I already set it up, ran the filter for a few days, now I want to start adding fish. Here's my dilemma-- I have a few too many Zebra Danios in my (female) Betta tank, so I want to move them right away to the new tank, but I want to eventually get some Gouramis in there and a couple catfish too. I made a mistake putting the Betas with the Danios because I think they drive them crazy, chasing them, etc. My Betas all hide a lot now, so to reduce stress, I am taking the Danios out. Now, back to the question-- will Gouramis be stressed by those crazy Danios too? I know they are labeled "peaceful" & said to be compatible fish, but their activity level is so high that they end up driving calmer fish crazy! What should I do? Also, give me some lists of fish that you think would go well in there. I love colorful, peaceful varieties.
Thanks!
