antwan Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 You could have a couple of pairs in the 3 footer, just make sure you have driftwood or stones or plants in there to separate them a bit as they will get territorial around breeding. They should eat most foods, ranging from flake to live. If they do breed however, the fry will need to be fed on microworms or greenwater, as baby brine shrimp are too big for their mouths.

Gatito Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I have lace/pearl gourami with bettas no problem They get to an ok size too, and they can mix with other varieties of dwarf gourami nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candy Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I thought the general consensus on Aros are at least a 6f tank Nope at least a 8x2x2 foot tank but bigger it better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I agree with Candy. This was in another thread recently, but I believe (and back-up Rogan from the other thread) that they should be housed in even bigger tanks. Don't get me wrong, an 8x2x2 is a huge tank, but for a fish that gets to 2-3 foot (in some cases) does not deserve a tank where it can only just turn around in. It's reasons like this that I believe we shouldn't be allowed to keep the larger fish...but hey, that is just my opinion.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
