Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	Hi, I have now 4 gouramis http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mile_rd_8ball/album?.dir=/38e9 The next 1-2weeks i want to have some other fish. I was thinking of some barbs or tetras. What barbs and tetras would be good to be with gouramis? Robby I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

I will name these, Rummynose, Lemon & Emperor. How about some Corydoras or Loaches?. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

hca Fish Addict Posts: 783 Kudos: 434 Votes: 211 Registered: 06-Mar-2004	gold gouramis are just a color morph of blue gouramis and reach 5 in, so they definately arent the smallest gourami

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	I think i will trade/sell those golden gouramis and go for those peaceful fish instead I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

They are very peaceful & colourful. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	I was thinking of golden gouramis as the honey golden gouramis. My bad. Golden goramis get up to 6 inches. The ones I was thinking of maybe get an inch. You might have to be careful cause gouramis can be territorial. I'd put in lots of plants and dither fishes like tetras. I always thought black phantoms look nice. So do neons.

tankie Fish Addict Posts: 857 Kudos: 848 Votes: 230 Registered: 15-Mar-2005	well..those gouramis r nice but they do get bigger than 3 inches..if u want small one..do get the dwarf gourami, then....they will do well with tetras of smaller varieties like neons or cardinals. u have such a big tank...it would be nice to see schooling fish swimming in there.

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	Yep i want those zebra plecos as soon as possible. But can i have them now?..the tank is 3 weeks old and the test is: Ammonia=0,0 PH=7,5 Nitrate=0,2 Iam going to trade the gouramis and get some swordtails or mollies tomorrow. I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.
