I'm sorry to hear about your bettas, I hope no one else gets sick. You have some real cuties in that picture. ~Danielle

I finally broke down and decided to get me some doubletail plakats for my birthday (on the 20th). I got the below guys off ebay and they'll be shipped to me on tuesday. I can't wait :) ~Danielle

My Blue is definately a male (look at his pic below). I don't understand why he's so nice to other fish but he is. (unlike the gold I have in a seperate tank) They really can get 6 inches? I'm amazed at that, a bigger tank is a must before long. As for the moonlight I'm guessing it's a...

Be careful with those blue and gold gouramis, especially if they're boys. I have a gold gourami who was a terror and now lives in a 10 by himself. He constantly harrassed my blue. Good luck with your tanks :) ~Danielle

My Pearl's eye has cleared up a lot today. His throat even turned back to orange but not for long (not sure why?) Wells as for the 3 trichogasters the blue and the pearl get along great they are always handing out together in the tank. The Moonlight is just a baby, he (or she) is about a...

I've had him for about 4 months now, no body's been picking on him since he's the undesputed boss of the tank. He is a 30 gl. with 1 moonlight, 1 blue gourami, 4 thick lips, 3 sparkling gouramis, 1 SAE and 2 rainbowfish. I checked the levels and everything seems about right Amonia 0 and...

The pic is misleading, the guys in question are only about 1/2 inch big. Also my labiso's have fan-like tails, not forked ones. Here's a pic of one of my thick lips. P.S. As for the lips the new guys are too tiny to tell, their lips look like they do on my blue dwarf.

My pearl gourami named Handsome seems to have 1 coudy eye and 1 clear eye. Should I treat the entire tank or move him to a quarenteen tank? I'd hate to put him through all that for nothing serious (he hates being netted). No one else has a hint of cloudy eye but him, any suggestions? P.S. I...

Yup it happens way too often when I was new to fish a pet store sold me a Bala shark and said he'd be ok in a 5 gallon! Once I got him home and researched him I gave him back to the store, I would have loved to keep him, I hope someone who knew what they were doing bought him instead of someone...

Well that's another reason why I wouldn't do it anytime soon, I'd want to do more research first.

Nope I used new filter media but transfered some of the rocks from an established tank to the new one, I've heard that helps. The chinese lives in my 30 but he's in the 10 for now to help the algae problem, the gourami is a 4 inch gold gourami, yes he quite big for a 10 but he's proved himself...

Well now I'm confused I've looked them up everywhere online but haven't found any thick lips that look like this. However I have found juvenile Honey gouramis (colisa chuna) that look similar, especially in the back tail, they have a slight indent unlike my thick lips. Now I'm unsure what...

Yup I guess that's what I'll do, buy a quality pair, maybe some DT plakats :) I'd try selling most online though, I'd like to know they're going to good homes. Also the school idea is a good one. One local pet shop around here is really good, I hope they'd take some in, they have the cleanest...

Heyas everyone, I have three tanks, a 30 gallon and a 15 that are established and never had any problems with. 2 Weeks ago I set up a 10 gallon to seperate a bully gourami, he's housed with 2 hatchet fish and 1 CAE. The tank was crystal clear for a week with just the algae eater so I added...

Hey everyone, I'm thinking of one day attempting to breed a spawn of bettas, just to see if it's something I would want to do again with a better pair. Now my question is, would local pet shops take in some of the spawn? I don't know how I'd manage so many bettas!..lol Is that something...

I'm not sure what meds you've used but I've had good luck with Maracyn for Fin and Tail Rot, Pop Eye, and Body Fungus. It's made by Mardel. Good luck, I hope everyone turns out ok. ~Danielle P.S. You may want to treat the whole tank as well as a preventative.

Thanks for the compliments :) Your DT is so cute FishEnthusiast! P.S. I just got a pic of the girlie, it's not too good since she's so small.

I really wish I knew of a breeder in New Jersey, I really want a double tail plakat :) One day I may cave in a buy one online but for now here are my veiltails from the pet shop, I love them all :) Oscar: My first and favorite Betta! His tail was gourgeous but he lost it to fin rot :( I was...

Are spiketails very suceptable to ulcers? I had 4 a little while ago, they all died with large holes that looked like the scales had been eaten away. No on bit them and no one else got sick, I tried saving them but no luck :( ~Danielle

I have 3 of them myself, they are in a well planted 30 gallon with 1 blue gourami, 1 moonlight gourami, 1 pearl, 1 SAE and 4 thick lipped gouramis, and 2 rainbow fish. I was nervous about them being with so many big fish at first but they quickly settled in and no one has messed with them...

I visited the pet store and found these cuties, the pictures don't do them justice. I've never seen this color variant online or in stores before, have any of you? I fell in love with them on the spot, they're now happy in the 30 gallon and are playing with my 2 golden thick lips. ~Danielle

Hello you two ^_^ ~Danielle

Hiyas, I just found these forums and I'm glad I did. After reading through only a few posts I've already learned a lot :) I've recently started my own tank with 3 dwarf Gouramis and 1 Ruby Shark. I'm really enjoying it so far. Anyways I just wanted to say hello *waves* ~Danielle

Hey everyone, I am new to tropical fish and I just started my tank 2 weeks ago. I have 3 male dwarf Gouramis and 1 Ruby Shark in a 5 gallon tank. (Don't worry I plan on upgrading the size very soon). After only two days I was a huge fan of my little Gourami's, they starting eating their...
