Pearl Gourami scavenging
During feedings the pearls spend their time scavenging around in the tank. Sometimes they do these headstands and peck at the pieces of food they find on the ground. It's adorable. They particularly seemed to like cory tablets, which made me think twice about getting corydoras since I'm sure that if the pearls don't steal their food the red-tailed rasboras will.
What to choose
Hi all,
i started my 40g breeder a few months ago and i would like to add a gourami or 2 to it. And what better place to ask then here. For now i have a school of chinese gold danio, rummy nose tetra, corydoras jullii, amano shrimps and a single BNP. I want to add another L number and a couple of apisto borelli. i am thinking of a honey gourami or a thick lipped gourami. my question for you, do you think this is a good setup and stocking for my tank? are there other gouramis you think would fit? or am i going to far with my stocking? i have an overcapacity filter and its planted so im not really worried about the bioload.
Sexes?
Fairly new to fish keeping and got a 3 pearl gouramis as my tanks ‘centerpiece’ fish.
Bought from 2 LFS.
Can anyone sex them from this young?
Edited to add number of fish
Pale spots
Hi, I noticed these pale spots on the heads of two of my Gouramis (had them for 2 weeks). They are acting and eating normally.
Are these just scratches or does it look like a fungal infection.
Sexing help
Hi everyone!
I recently got these three Gold Thick-Lipped Gouramis (Trichogaster labiosa). I’m trying to figure out their genders.
Is this an okay stock?
I recently found a cheap 29 gallon, and I think I want 1 Pearl Gourami, 10-12 harlequin Rasbora , 8 corys, 1 bristlenose, and some Snails. Does anyone think this is overkill, or maybe should switch anything?
rowley!
this my new boy rowley! he was picking at snails not even a minute after puttin him in the tank
