	What to do with a 10G
AngelZoo Fish Addict Posts: 771 Kudos: 501 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-Dec-2003	Alright, the latest in the gourami sagga, is that the male died, sometime last night or this morning. So I'm left with that brat of a female, and I can't put anything else in with her cause I think she'll kill them too. So... Should I.. keep the female, or trade her in and get something else? If the latter choice, what do you suggest I get? The water pH here is naturally 8.0 I'd like something compatible for that.

With that pH you could go with some small Tanganyikan cichlids, set up a shellie tank. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

That is up to you when you are ready. I took a female texas to trade and they put her in their display tank. She was a pretty girl. And there was a little boyfriend in there for her too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~
