Oh perfect I have water sprite! He might use that. Thanks so much I really appreciate all your help! Plus the doctor fish DOES like sucking on my finger. Maybe it can expholiate my finger lol!

Oh I'm so relieved. I was very worried. Thank you helping me out guys. I'll continue to monitor their behaviour and I'll keep the water a lower level just in case it resembles breeding season. Is there anything else that might help the situation and promote spawning? What about floating a cup in...

Haha, and a doctor fish. I have no idea what gender it is but that fish doesn't matter. :) Anyways so if I have 2 females with 1 male, why did the male "dance" with the female, and now is chasing her away? They circled gracefully and all of a sudden the chasing started. P.S. This all happened...

And lastly, the (male?) honey: Sorry my pictures are really poopy but you get the basic shapes of the fins.

Secondly, (female?) honey:

First off, the thick-lip (female?)

This is a doctor fish.

Ok give me a moment until I import the pictures! :)

Plus those are old photos. I had to get rid of those fish because there were too many males.

A doctor fish is a bottom feeder and it's other name is something like a "gamma russo." I can't spell or pronounce it but it looks something like that. Maybe I should take pictures of all fish?

This behaviour is very odd because everyone lived in harmony and the two honeys were inseperatable, and now my male honey is leaving the thick lip alone, the doctor alone, and now is bothering my female. I can't remember the readings exactly but petland used their liquid water test for me...

Sorry nitrite was 0.5

Tank Info: 20 G Lots of fake plants One cave (for hiding) A handful of duckweed (it looks like duckweed) floating plant Those levels of ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite. (0.5, 0, and 0) Tank is 3 months old. Cycled for one month. Had fish for two. Stock is (don't know the genders...

Thick-lip started going after female honey and the male honey chased him off? This behaviour is so weird! They are usually so peaceful! Maybe the dead dwarf kept them in line when he was a alive. Maybe honey trying to assert his dominance?

Ammonia 0.5, nitrate 0, nitrite 0.5. I bought the wood from Petland. I washed the wood before putting it in with regular tap water. Chasing seems a little agressive. He is only chasing the other honey. He is leaving the thick-lip alone. The thick-lip is a girl too I think. All three of them are...

The "male," I'm not to sure if it is a male or not, is not chasing the "female." All gouramis are like, feeling each other up like crazy with their feelers. I've never seen them do this before.

I have some floating plants. That might encourage bubble nesting. I see no bubble nest thus far.

Hey AA! I had to clean out my tank because the wood I put in my tank made the water orangish. So I did a 80% water change and it's starting to look better. I've removed the wood, did the water change, prepared some water, added some aquarium salt (if there needs to be any help for respiratory...

Put him in for 2 seconds and tried to attack my honey. Bad idea! Thanks for the advice everyone.

No one bullies. Not a single fish. Everyone loves to feel each other with their "feelers." My dwarf is a shy guy but is the only guy and my thick lip likes to hang with the doctor fish and they actually share some bottom food like friends. So weird. But no, no aggression in my tank. They don't...

My betta actually stopped the flaring. I watched him see one and didn't do anything. I mean, every single aquarium is different, and maybe I could try to introduce him. My manager actually made the mistake of housing two bettas in one tank and they didn't fight once. That was a miracle in...

Hey I have a question about my betta... I have a 20 G tank with 5 fish in it: 1. Dwarf Gourami (male) 2. Two honey gouramis (female) 3. Thick-lip gourami (female) 4. Doctor Fish (or) Gama Russu? (unknown) As you can see, I have a labyrinth fish tank, excluding my bottom feeder. I have been...
