Hello, so I set up my 20 gallon high in mid November, I haven't really had any problems since then, but recently somethings strange has been happening, starting yesterday, the pristella tetras hide while everything else behaves normally. Now, today, weird white streaks appeared on the inside of...

I have 1 dwarf gourami and 8 pristella tetras. I currently feed them flake food, but would like to add more variety to the diet, I would prefer to have flakes still be the average meal, like feed flakes 4 times a week and other food 3 times a week, is this enough variety or should I add more...

If needed I can try and get better pics tomorrow, any other advice is appreciated.

Okay so I've had this dwarf gourami for maybe 2-3 weeks now, it seems very healthy, eats and poops fine, even colored up since I've got him. But I noticed something strange on his head today, It looks like small indents maybe? I'm not sure if this is an injury or not, he pecks at the driftwood...

Really? I've read on lots of places that they could be kept by themselves without any issue, even on sites like aquarium co-op they said 1 in a 5 gallon is great. Is this really true? Because I might set aside this tank for now then.

I live near Portland Oregon, I got them from here, https://www.wetspottropicalfish.com/ (in person not online) all fish in the tank seemed healthy, I've been to this store dozens of times, the only dead fish I've ever seen was a single rummy nose tetra. He looks better than when I first got him...

I have a spare 5.5 Gallon hexagon tank, I would love to stock it with a pea puffer maybe in January, is there anything I would be able to include with the puffer? I've read various things online, some saying that it would be fine to keep shrimp with it, others saying it would be a massacre, but...

Hey, its been a few weeks since I've introduced him to the tank, and he still spends lots of time surfing the glass, he eats fine still. I introduced 8 pristella tetras to the tank (they are doing great and look fantastic schooling), they distracted him for a brief time, but now he's back to...

Haha thanks :) Just wanted to be safe

I know my other thread is also the most recent post, but a lot led up to getting this fish so I want to make sure everything's aright with him. With that out of the way, I've got two questions in this thread, 2 days ago I got a Royal Blue Dwarf Gourami, I was observing it today, and noticed...

Neat, if I have to replace this one I'll look into one of these, otherwise, I might get some suction cups, stick them to the side of the tank, and attach something like this to them, then just place it around the water lettuce, so It doesnt move around much

Kind of a beginner here - What modifications do you put on a HOB filter other than changing filter media? Personally I've had a really good experience with this filter overall, it has lasted a while without any trouble, and seems to keep my tank clean.

Thank you, will try this soon, not sure if it will fit with the biowheel though.

Amazon link is here, doesn't seem like it does. Also, I have the 20-30 gallon one.

Its the Marineland Penguin 150, I have it filled up all the way to the waterfall, the noise was annoying otherwise.

Thank you :) One more thing, the tank currently has a HOB filter, the water flow is a bit powerful for some of the dwarf water lettuce I have, it blows it around in a circle constantly, is there a way to reduce the flow? I've been thinking of cutting up and stuffing a very coarse sponge into...

Hi, yesterday I added my new Male Dwarf Gourami to my planted 20g tall. He's currently the only fish in the tank, he looks like he's doing fine appearance wise, he's eating the flake food I provided no problem, but he seems to be surfing up and down the glass pretty often, along with...

Thank you so much for the recommendation, I've tried on 4 different chrome accounts, after about 5-10 mins of browsing on this website, I randomly get blocked for, "Exceeded the maximum number of page not found errors per minute for humans." This isn't just a reply for you, I've been trouble...

Checked with my LFS, their Dwarf Gourami are sourced locally and checked for any signs of disease every morning, I visited today, the normal dwarfs, royal blue, and flame variants all looked incredibly healthy, I think I've decided to by from them.

Yeah I saw that later, unfortunate.

Update: Looking at German blue rams instead of dwarf gourami, would this be a good alternative? Thank you guys for all the help :) (Don't forget my question in my post above though haha)

Hey, sorry for not responding for the past couple days. So I'm lucky to have this be my local fish store: https://www.wetspottropicalfish.com/ looking on their website, they don't seem to have any dwarf gourami, they do have the 'royal blue' and 'powder blue' variants, would these work as well...

Dimensions: 24 by 12 by 16, would I be able to add anything else to the tank with 10 kuhlis and 10 harlequins? Also what about my question about the Dwarf Gourami?

Hello! So I finished planting and preparing my 20 gallon tall community tank, I was using AqAdvisor to help choose fish, I settled on - 1x Dwarf Gourami - 5x White Cloud Mountain Minnow - 5x Harlequin Rasboras - 3x Kuhli Loach. (probably some shrimp and snails in the future) AqAdvisor said this...

Woke up this morning, issue seems to have resolved itself, water is pretty clear now.

Appreciate the help! My tap water doesn't have any chlorine in it so that shouldn't have been a problem either way, I made this post out of a little bit of panic, its already cleared up a good amount, I can see through the back of the tank, which I couldn't before.

I'm pretty new to the hobby, I was repurposing a previously used 20 gallon tank which hadn't had fish in it for several months. (filter was running the entire time though) I wanted to change the substrate to go for a different look, I removed the old substrate, added the new substrate, a coarse...
