warrion_2000 Enthusiast Posts: 257 Kudos: 169 Votes: 1 Registered: 29-Apr-2003	Just restocked my 30g. I got 4 swordtails, 4 guppies, and 2 dwarf gouramis. They're all getting along no bullying etc, but do i have too many? just curious. thanks

As such, appropriate plans should be made: either set up a different tank for them, sell/give them to an LFS, or, if you happen to have a large cichlid that happens to require live food, that would work as well.

Gourami Mega Fish Posts: 1205 Kudos: 477 Votes: 1 Registered: 23-Apr-2002	If there isn't adequite hiding places for the fry in the tank, the parents and other fish will eat the fry. So you really dont have to worry too much about that. I agree with the corys or algae eater suggestion. I dont recomend ottos though since i think they suck at eating algae. I would get a BN if it where my tank but thats just me. HTH
