The honey gouramis would be fine, the guppies as well although if you're getting M/F it would be better to have two females. My only concern is the swordtails because of their potential size. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

SheKoi Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 553 Votes: 4 Registered: 11-Feb-2004	thanks for quick reply. thats what i was thinking. i have 1 male and 1 female guppy at the moment and male and female honey. the swordtails could stay in my 40g, i just wanted to thin out the fish i have in there, so could get a second blue ram. 40g 1 angel 11 rasbora 5 corys 1 clown pleco 1 blue ram 3 swordtails between 2-4in 2 guppies 2 honey gourami. www.blooming-brilliant.co.uk

SheKoi Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 553 Votes: 4 Registered: 11-Feb-2004	i don't want to get rid of any of them, i've had them for years. i just want to move some to a different tank. i've been offered a 24x12x12 tank and just wondering what i can put into it. i love to see the rasbora in the larger tank, so would like to keep them in there, really to active for 15g i think. thanks for the replies. any ideas welcome. shekoi Last edited by shekoi at 21-Dec-2004 08:10 www.blooming-brilliant.co.uk

SheKoi Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 553 Votes: 4 Registered: 11-Feb-2004	i've had an idea i've noticed that when i try to feed the corys the pleco and swords and the angel chase them and eat it first. so could i put in 5 cory juilli 2 guppies 2 honey gourami i'll have the sides and back fully planted in gravel and have sand at the front for the corys. that would leave the bottom of the 40g for the pleco and ram. how does that sound???????? www.blooming-brilliant.co.uk
