    20g stocking with Dwarf Gouramis and Ghost Shrimp

    Ooh, good idea. Maybe 10 harlequins and 5 Kuhli loaches? Always wanted them but don't know a whole lot about care. Can't find a ton online about them either.

    20g stocking with Dwarf Gouramis and Ghost Shrimp

    Hey all, Just set up a new 20gal yesterday, and i'm thinking about stocking. I have a sexed pair of dwarf gouramis in another tank that are going in when it's cycled, same with about 10 ghost shrimp. I'm trying to decide on another species to go in there too. Not really into tetras/danios...

    Male dwarf gourami being very aggressive

    Beautiful fish there. Mine have actually become much nicer to each other. Still going to separate until I can get them into the 20, but they're being much nicer. Good to know you've had success with glass cats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Male dwarf gourami being very aggressive

    Picked up a 20g at Petco today. As soon as my heater comes in I'm going to move the female to the shrimp tank for a little while while I get everything I need for the 20g and cycle it in. I'm expecting some shrimp to become food, but I really want to get the female away from that stress asap...

    Male dwarf gourami being very aggressive

    That's what I feared. If I can't get a 20 for some reason I'll start looking at rehoming. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Male dwarf gourami being very aggressive

    Haven't kept gouramis in a while, but I got a male+female pair for an extra 5.5 that I've been waiting to stock for a while. Since they've been introduced the male has been very aggressive to the female, chasing her around and bothering her constantly. Is this normal behavior for them? If not...

    Good idea. That definitely makes sense. I'll do that as soon as I can pick some up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tap water is reading at about 1. So it should help. Won't have a chance until Saturday. Hopefully it helps. I'll add more aeration if it doesn't. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    dKH is at .5. No glass top. I'm thinking water change will really help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
