Definitely worth it though! [span class="edited"][Edited by Theresa_M 2004-08-13 00:29][/span] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

I agree except I personally think that when the honey's are happy they look more beautiful than the dwarfs and seem happy to be on their own as I have two and they always seem to be apart from each other.

TigerAngel Fish Addict Posts: 522 Registered: 22-Feb-2004	I personally loved my Indian Banded Gourami. It was so peaceful. It looks more like a cichlid than a gourami. But very gentle, and it was not shy, it ate out of my hands at every feed time. It never picked on any other fish. http://fish.mongabay.com/species/Colisa_fasciata.html ps. I only kept one of these fellas in a community tank, and he got on fine with all my other fish. So keeping only one shouldn't be a problem. But in saying that, it all depends on the personality of the fish. [span class="edited"][Edited by TigerAngel 2004-08-13 06:33][/span]
