	Community tank
ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	I have finally made up my mind on what fish to add in my 32 gallon. I already have 6 black neons, 6 danios, and 6 blue cories. I want to add 1 or 2 gouramis (not sure which kind yet). Does this sound reasonable?

In fact, you could probably add a smaller pleco to that tank, even with the gourami(s). Dwarf gouramis would be great, I personally like the honey gouramis. They are peaceful, and add a nice touch. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	Well the lfs I buy all my fish at have dwarf gouramies, royal blue gouramies, pearl gouramies, honey gouramies, chocolate and probably more that I forgot. I think the dwarf gouramies or the pearls would be nice.

You can tell if they are dyed if their color jsut doesn't seem right, and ussualy you'll find the same kind of cories but red

Here is a link with some information on this fish, just to prove that they exist: [link=http://www.scotcat.com/callichthyidae/nattereri.htm]http://www.scotcat.com/callichthyidae/nattereri.htm" style="COLOR: #808080[/link] Eric, I would go with dwarf gouramis, strictly because they are smaller. I like to keep my tank understocked, just in case. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	Well the dwarf gouramies were the ones that caught my attention, so I think i will go with those. As for the cories, mine aren't exactly blue in colour despite the name. They are more brownish.

ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	4 gouramies, 8 black neons, 8 danios, 8 cories? Isn't that cutting it close to being overstocked?

ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	Would adding the 2 gouramies and a school of cardinals be overstocked to?
