Hello there! I am obviously new to this site. I got a lot of information from this site when setting up my new tank so I thought I would just go a head and join.
A little about my aquarium experience: I got my first little 1 gallon when I was about seven. Of course I was not every responsible and eventually got rid of it. I then got another when I was twelve but got discourage when my fish would not live more than a year (except for my 5 year of goldfish). Now since I've been in college I have really gotten serious with the whole fish thing. It gives me something to do between class and homework and its very meditating. I keep a Betta at school and have now decided to establish a 10 gallon at my house for my family and I.
I just put up my newest tank (10 gallon) not to long ago and I'm in the process of a fishless cycle. I want to get a few dwarf gouramies. I have done my research on them and believe it will be a good fit. I have plenty of caves and plants! But I still have a few questions that the internet is giving me mixed advice about. I was hoping that your experience may be of help!
So my questions:
1. How many should I get for a 10 gallon? I was planning on 3 but if more is ok I may consider it.
2. Are there any ground feeders that can live with DGs? Like and shrimp or snail...one they will not eat or pick on.
3. Would a group of only males be to aggressive?
4. Is there anything other helpful tips about DGs?
