mike77ca Hobbyist Posts: 89 Kudos: 89 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Jun-2004	Do gouramis take a while to settle in to a new tank?? I Introduced three to my 20g tank today. Two have taken to casualy grazing on the plants, but the third just seems to just sit in the top front corner of the tank. Is it to early to be concerned?? I think i have two females and one male but its hard to tell.

They come to see what I'm up to whenever I open the lid, and one of them was actually eating frozen blood worms out of my fingers today. The one who was in the corner.....is no longer with us. Sad...buty at least the other two are doing well.
