the largest you can afford because it makes it easier to maintain water levels and quality and potentially could mean an increase in fish variety!

yeah its for medicinal purposes... i just wanted to dispel the rumor about gouramis reacting badly to a little salt for treatment.

I'm wondering if I can treat my tank with aquarium salt. But, I've also heard that aquarium salt isn't good for gouramis. Is that true or can I go ahead and use aquarium salt with everyone in my tank?

yeah looked just like that.. i checked the water quality at the LFS and they told me that the water was in great condition. I did water change outs just like you did on every other day and still no luck. i dont think it was HITH after collaborating with everyone from here and the LFS and...

He just passed this afternoon.. sad sad day :sad: Well thank you for your help everyone I really appreciate it!

I cant get a good picture of the spot on his head because it's kinda tiny. It just looks like a plain white sunken dot. I've also noticed that since the dot appeared he looks like he is having trouble breathing. He's constantly gulping in water and either floats at the top or stays towards...

My dwarf gourami seems to have the hole in the head disease. There is a spot that I've just noticed right between his two eyes and suspect that he has got the disease. What causes this and how do I get rid of it?!

As they say.. the bigger the better!

Yes get a pic so we can see! ..but if you had to guess I've learned to sex from the tails of the fish. The males tend to have longer and pointed dorsal fins and the anal fins are a bit more drawn out and extended. Plus, like it was said earlier, the coloration of the male tends to progress as...

hey there let me answer your questions as best as i can one This is quite interesting behavior... I have yet to see this happen between two females. Only thing I can think of is that one might actually be a male and a female. Typically, when a female is ready to mate she would bite or kiss...

first off you have to find a tank you can temporarily locate the gouramis to.. sort of like a breeding tank. reason being because once the bubble nest is fertilized with babies, relocating the adults back to the bigger tank is a must as they may try to eat the babies in the breeding tank...

hello hello when a dwarf male begins to blow a bubble nest, it doesnt necessarily mean that he is going to have babies but rather he is doing what he is biologically disposed to do and TRY to have babies. potentially, this could mean that in a few weeks he could pair up with one of your females...
