My danios are murder beans.

Hello! Welcome to TFF! I hope you enjoy your time :) Feel free to message me anytime to just chat!

Hmm maybe if I am getting a sparkling gourami tank then! Or Pea puffers, they like little flow I think!

Yep, I agree with getting a 6 gallon. May or may not need a bigger heater. What do others think on that? I agree with @Essjay on the fact that the flow will be betta (Sorry xD) Definitely get some gravel in there so there is more surface area for bacteria. I would personally suggest some...

Ok I'm getting some xD

Definitely pencil fish, possibily Glowlight tetra for the second? Wait till they colour up for a good photo.

Ok! Thanks 👍

Hello! I was thinking about writing an essay or something about why you shouldn't get Dwarf gourami. Would anyone be interested in reading it if I did it?

Yep Honey gourami are lovely! I like croaking gourami and sparkling gourami as well. I own both 😊

I was going to make the Iridovirus point, good idea :)

I call them Murder beans xD They would probably nip the dwarf gouramis' and guppies' tails. You would need to hand feed them as well, as the other fish would probably just eat all of their food. They really don't do well in community tanks whatsoever, so I would suggest if you wanted them...

Yes you would 🤣

It's so sad to hear you are quitting! The video of your tank was amazing 🙂

I'm going to bump this, it's still here :) I don't need help on how to get rid of it really anymore, it has only stayed the same and doesn't bother them, I'm just intruiged now :)

Hello! I may or may not have just fallen in love with a certain fishy 😉 Rice fish! But..... I was going to set up my second proper tank for them! I have a quarantine tank, but I don't really count that as a proper tank! Even though it has a permanent resident. So... Can I keep them with...

They. Are. SO. Beautiful. The only thing is, they probably won't like the gravel, you might need to change it.

They own fish themselves so it should be fine, they come and feed our fish when we go on holiday and we do the same :) and I advised them on their fish to start with as well.

By the way, always be careful with dwarf gourami, they are known to carry disease. I think it's called irovidous or something!

Thank you everyone!

No, they are in a separate container!

Hey guys, I have to go away from home for an amount of time (I don't know how long) and I have some fry/juvenile goldfish. I have someone feeding them every two days, but will that be alright? My dad thinks we will be away for a maximum of 8-9 days. They have some natural food (probably) and...

Ooo lovely!

That is a beautiful pearl gourami!

Great for the update! That's good that he isn't in the filter anymore :)

Nice! Shrimp are awesome :)

Umm well I found mine at a Maidenhead Aquatics, which is the chain of fish stores here in the UK. I think my LFS will be getting them in because the manager really wants them in the shop (but they can olny do that because they have had a massive extension on the shop) So possibly where you are...

Oh wow that is looking great! Will you be adding any livestock?

Oh hmmmm that might be why mine looks like it has been dumped in mud then dragged through a hedge backwards...

Oooo lovely! Beautiful tank :)

@Rocky998 look what I found a my LFS 😉

One of my neon tetras was very small, and he got himself stuck in the filter. I found him the next day, and he was alive, but not for that long. Tbh, Fishkeeping comes with a lot of deaths, even if you do everything right. 30+ of my fish have died, I started the hobby Oct 2020. But it also...

If you are afraid of overstocking due to mass amounts of guppies @Madmaxoo7, you could keep just males!

The only problem with not having a heater is if the temperature fluctuates too much. For example, is it is room temperature and it is say, 18 degrees, then at night if the room temp drops, so will the tank water, which can cause stress to any fish.

I would suggest adding some live plants, although the substrate may not be perfect for it. You could try something like Dwarf Hygrophila. Or, get a piece of aquarium rock or wood, and, using fish safe glue, glue on an Anubis or Java fern. You could also use floating plants. Oh also, do you have...

Oh they are beautiful!

What and how much do you feed them? In the meantime, do you have any spare filters? or heaters? Or even a quarantine tank? Move her in there if you have a quarantine tank. I you have a spare filter heater and storage box, take half the water from your main tank and put in in there, along with...

Need better lighting :) Also water parameters, how old is the tank, what other fish have you got? But mainly a better photo.

Hmmm in my opinion it is best not to use artificial chemicals for things like that. I am very on the natural side, and as far as I know, if you have a lot of live plants, they break down the ammonia into nitrite, and then that breaks down into nitrate. The plants then absorb the nitrate. Have...
