luckyfish Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 actually, i'm thinking gourmaris might be an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Gouramis are nice Have to say that cause I've got 4 :lol: I have 2 Golden Gourami's and 2 x 3 Spot Gourami's. Love the Chocolate ones but havent seen them round for awhile, used to have a couple of really big Fellas. Gourami's will go nicely with the other Fish you have in your Tank too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agecage Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 If u go to Goldfish pagoda. U can order in fish. Hes got the stock lists there. I got some blue acaras and keyholes from him recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 GOOD LUCK Was going to mention Keyholes too. Awesome wee fishm one of my favourties after my Discus of course, I have 6 Keyholes as well, they would be the most docile of the lot, I think (well mine are anyway). Keyholes and Gourami's will be good together, I have 2 Keyholes in with my Gourami's. Send me a Link to the Auction I want to see YOU win Agecage: How do you contact Goldfish pagoda??
