danilada Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Am looking at changing my current tank into some-thing like this.... Could I have in a 320L planted and lots of caves.... 2 Kribensis Male + Female am aware they get stroppy when breeding. 1 L204 Pleco 6ish Clown Loaches 2 Angelfish 3 Male Swordtails- whom get along with each other. 2 dwarf gourmais 1 female 1 male 12 Kuhli Loaches 2 Emerald Barb- who are very peaceful School of Danio's or Harlequin Rasbora Possibly a Blue Ram? Some Corydoras 1 Golden Algae Eater- who again is peaceful Some of them I already have, some I don't not 100% on numbers or breeds etc, but if people could help with advice/suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

je_suis_ketan Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I found that when I had 2 Dwarf Gourami (one male one female), the male constantly harassed the female. Then it became better once I put 6 pearl gourami in the tank. He decided to chase the bigger fish around :lol: I might suggest getting more to spread the aggression out amongst a larger group? I'm not sure about the other fish in the tank sorry. Though 6 is a good number for clown loaches, but the more the merrier. You will see them more often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danilada Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have already 1 male, 1 female gourami and they seem ok, the swordtail does have his moments with them though. I have 3 clown loaches already and they are characters when they come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I wouldnt recomend dwarf gouramis at all. Known disease carrier, suspected of wiping out a species of australian fish. They are imported from SG full of antibiotics, they arrive in the country, live through QT and then die. blue rams are quite nice, get a pair if them instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 blue rams are quite nice, get a pair if them instead Blue rams are just as bad as dwarf gouramis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilknieval69 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Disease. Alot of the rams that come into the country just fade away and die, as do the dwarf gouramis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
