Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	Well, my 55 gallon stocking is almost complete. Currently I have... 16 Rosy Tetras 1 Cardinal Tetra (last survivor of my batch of 18) 9 Black fin Cory's (C. Leucomelas) 1 C. Ambiacus (mixed in above bacth of cory's) 4 Otto Catfish 2 Blue Rams I have one spot left in my 55 gallon and it could be filled by either 3 Pearl Gourami's or 1 Angelfish. Which would you recommend for this tank? Thanks. Last edited by Tetra Fan at 14-Jan-2006 11:09

They only get a little bit larger than the Pearl Gouramis, but they will stand out a lot more. Pearl Gourami's coloration looks awesome up close, but it's meant for camouflage and if you're more than a few feet away from the tank, they really don't stand out that much. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

The bluish Opaline gourami are also very peaceful.

While I love my angel...I would also have loved a trio of Pearl Gouramis for my 55g. They look so peaceful together in pictures I have seen. I think they would be a nice addition to your 55g. *Kristin*

Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	Yes I realize I need to fix the cardinal. But I don't have the money to buy a whole school for him anymore. I was almost certain he would die just like the 17 others. But no, this one is resiliant and has survived over a week. He seems fine but I may just return him to the store. Alright, so I guess it is settled. I will get a trio of pearl gourami's. Thanks
