What type of Pleco do you have?. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/album?.dir=b5f2 http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

I've also read that male swordtails will fight so it's best to only have one per tank. The only problem I see with a gourami is that they tend to be good fry eaters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	well, my suggestion was going to be neon tetras...For the longest time I had neons in with my guppies...it made a really nice tank, and was hilarious to watch when the guppies would try to breed with the neonsand the neons would try to school with the guppies:%) Fishhelper, typically males will fight, but you are obviously very luckyYou either have plenty of females, lots of hiding places, lots of room, and/or plenty of plants...no matter what be happy...I would be Heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."
