Hi! I have a gourami ( Tina) in my 55 with my livebearers and an angelfish ( Casper)
Tina recently has had some nipping issues with my swordtail ( Q)
Would it be ok to move her from the 55 to my 16 with 3 black skirt tetras, and 2 scissor tail rasboras? I am planning on making that tank a gourami tank, inion I find homes for the other 5 would they work together?
Al's I don't want to move her just yet because the water in the 16 is cloudy.
I have treated it for algae and plain cloudy water stuff but it won't go away.
Parameters are stable as usual so it's not there.
I have been fasting them for 2 wks with 4 feedings during the 2 wks
What could be wrong?
 
Tina is a pearl gourami. I think you would be pushing the limit by putting her in that 16, but if the nipping is bad I think you could pull it off as a temporary solution by keeping up with the weekly water changes or maybe even twice a week. Just my opinion.
 
I do weekly water changes of about 50-75% , could I get her a few friends? Like some other of her kind?
