Hello everyone,
I am new to this site, and more importantly new to keeping fish.
I currently have a 10g tank with one Dwarf Gourami, I want to add more fish eventually. (I have only had him for two weeks)
There are two little live bamboo plants in the tank now, and a couple fake plants and a little hide-ey castle for him. I want to add more live plants, but I don't know anything about aquatic plants, are different plants better for some tanks that others? I don't want to over crowd the tank, but I have read that Gouramis do well with lots of live plants.
Also when would it be okay to add fish? What fish would do well with him in that sized tank? I want at least one algae eating or bottom feeding fish, I was thinking about getting a few Pygmy Corys. Is it going to be a problem that I have gravel and not sand? I was thinking about maybe a few tettra and or a female betta.
Also, any other advice for a newbie would be great.
