Aquarium Advice Newbie
I've had my first aquarium for about 3 months now. It's a 42 gallon octagon. We wanted a peaceful community tank. We started with the danios and cherry barbs, added a cory cat, 2 panda cats, and 2 angels, a few glo fish slowly as recommended by the pet store. We then added a dwarf gold gourami. I really liked him so I went back (they didn't have any more) so I got 2 blue gourami's. The next day the dwarf gourami's tail was chewed on and one of the glow fishes tail was completely gone. The gourami was dead by the next morning. I called the Pet Store and was told that the blue gouramis are not aggressive that that would be highly unusual and it might be a water problem. "Of course that wouldn't explain the missing tails would it?" My test strips have been fine and I did a water change recently. Anyway now one of my Angels has been against the top of the tank and not eating for the last 2 days. I'm really heartbroken.
It may be too late but I think I will take the blue gourami's back. They are really pretty. They do chase each other around while we are watching but don't bother anything else I guess until the other fish are sleeping.
I need some advice on what fish I should be keeping together at this point! THANKS
