I know the feeling, there are lots of fish I want but can't have because my tank's too small. I'd love fire eel but my 550 litre tank isn't quite enough. Consider platys instead if it's the look of the fish you like, they're the closest you'd get to mollies. The fry will be eaten by the other...

Mollies also need a 30 gallon minimum. I'd stick with the tetras, kuhlis & shrimp for a 20 gallon, but even then you might be overstocked depending on if we're talking UK or US gallon. I'm not sure what ADF are? Peace ?

Okay good luck ?

You'll see a big difference in their behaviour if you're got more than the bare minimum. But hey, you can ignore my advice, but my 20 golden pencilfish would tell you the same if they could speak.

Well it's your tank, but they need to be in a bigger group.

+1 that's partly why I suggested a bigger tank. It won't be happy in a small tank for long.

Might work temporarily but not long term. Good luck.

Oh gotcha, do you have the money/space for a 20 gallon? If you do I'd highly suggest upgrading, your ottos will be happier & you can get your gourami some buddies :)

Wait do you have a betta too? If so bettas & gouramis aren't compatible. I've heard of people keeping bettas & ottos in the same tank but I've no experience on that so I don't really want to guess & give you the wrong answer. Either way, the ottos need 20 gallons & the gouramis would need about...

The plants yes, they like it heavily planted. The size & tank mates not so much. 10 US gallons is only 45 litres & a pair need 60 litres minimum. Also Otto's like moderate flow & that'd probably be too much for the gouramis :(

Oh I see! Okay no problem! I loooooove gouramis, so I personally would set up a new tank. They need about 60 litres MINIMUM, so I'd double that & have a nice little group. Honey gouramis should be kept in groups of not more than one male and is compatible with Altum Angelfish, Angelfish...

A solution to what? Your undying shrimp, the gourami or if you need more fish? ? That's not meant to sound mean! I'm just not sure what I'm meant to be answering ?

Lol @ 1 ghost shrimp that won't die ?? I had gouramis in a fast flow tank & they weren't happy. They kept getting ulcers through stress & it's not a pretty sight. One of them got a massive lump on it's side & one day I looked in the tank & there was a huge hole where the lump was. Some of them...

I'd like to see pictures of all of the fish if you can.

Thank you toolman :) Camaro I used to be just like you. I thought I knew everything when I first joined this forum & woooooow how wrong I was. Check out some of my early threads, especially the goldfish one, that one makes me cringe so bad (Jamie don't you dare look). I was so rude! People were...
