They will be even redder if you toss in a couple of girls for them to chase. ~~Melissa~~ "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."

BlackNeonFerret Enthusiast Posts: 281 Kudos: 137 Votes: 30 Registered: 18-Jan-2006	If it is very small, cherry barbs, or some guppies with red tails If it is a bit bigger, go with some red tetras. I heard that Rosy Tetras don't school as much as others - but i may be wrong

I had a group of 3 males and they got along fine together and with the other fish. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

judz Enthusiast Posts: 256 Kudos: 160 Votes: 5 Registered: 06-Jun-2005	ya my gouramis is a grump. but hes not fast enough to catch anything the bn and guppies are much faster then him and he knows not to touch the snails, last gouramis that touched the snails ended up dead and eaten by them. im thinking adding 4 or 5 cards. i have a filter made for a 30 gal tank on a 10 gal so the levels stay very good so i cant see adding any more would hurt the tank. the bn is just a baby he will out grow the tank but it will take a while then ill put him in my 30 gal with my other one or trade him in for another baby.

judz Enthusiast Posts: 256 Kudos: 160 Votes: 5 Registered: 06-Jun-2005	i have a small tank with a dwarf gouramis, some snails, a bn, and some guppies. it is great but the middle is always empty. i would love to find a really good middle fish that i can school in the middle. but the thing is they have to be red or mostly red

bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004	tank size is important b/c if u have a 10 gallon, a couple of DG would overstock the tank, but dont they come in red also,

Two Tanks Big Fish Posts: 449 Kudos: 328 Votes: 13 Registered: 02-Jun-2003	How small is your tank? You may be maxed out with what you already have. The fish we recommended need to be in groups of four to six at least.

Two Tanks Big Fish Posts: 449 Kudos: 328 Votes: 13 Registered: 02-Jun-2003	The only thing I can think of right off would be cardinals or neons, maybe red phantom tetras or a platy with a red coloration (usually more orangy). I would not reconmend a red betta, but they do come in red - not a good idea with a gourami.

misty7 Hobbyist Posts: 72 Kudos: 60 Registered: 28-Jan-2005	Depending on how big your tank is...what about flame tetras, serpae tetras, or neon tetras? Black Ruby Barbs are nice, too, but I don't know if they would work with your other occupants.
