I got permission (finally!) for a large tank. Currently leaning towards a 240g 8ft long tank (8x2x2 roughly). It would be heavily planted.
We looked at the discus. Love the colors, but don't like the body shape or the fact I'd absolutely need RO water for them due to my water hardness. So I've been looking into the color variations of the three spot gourami-- the blue, gold, lavender, opaline-- and the moonlight gouramis. I've also fallen in love with the Congo tetras.
Almost all the research I've done into compatibility references tanks 100g or less usually. Given I'm looking at 8 feet of length and heavily planted, what do y'all think about a group of 5 or 6 of the three spots in various colors, and maybe a moonlight or 2, most or all female, with 8-12 Congo tetras?
That wouldn't be the entire stocking-- the rest would be smaller schooling tetras or pencilfish, corys, loaches, etc. Maybe a group of SAEs since I have the room. All of that is easily figured out. It's the gouramis and congos I can't find an answer to. So whatcha think, y'all?
