For anyone who cares, here are the three together. Happy as can be! Not a single sign of aggression from anyone whatsoever! If fact, it almost seems as if they are shoaling (if not schooling) together! (:

This is what I have been thinking. I am going to give the goldish and the Otocinclus(es) (the algae eaters I decided on) a chance to get comfortable then I think I am going to try to introduce the dwarf gourami in a few days or maybe a week. TO ALL: Thank you for your opinions! I am glad and...

Finally! Someone who isn’t anti-gourami! 😂 (just kidding). I am glad someone understands my situation though. It truly does vary fish to fish. Lol. As for the temp, I think the goal is 76-ish (Fahrenheit) but I need to double check. Do you know much about the common/feeder goldfish though? Do...

That's okay! You didn't hijack anything! (: And thanks! I am still debating, I just wanted different opinions. As it is not my tank to maintain, it isn't entirely my choice, so let's hope she accepts him into her new fish community lol.

any minnows really! (:

I would recommend plecos. They are good pond fishies that will clean up the algae and extra food. Also... Goldfish eat anything anything and EVERYTHING they can fit their mouths on so they will without a doubt eat the baby guppies let alone the adult guppies (as the goldfish gets bigger). I...

Keep in mind that cories are by nature, shy/timid little guys and dwarf gouramis are still social fishies and shouldn't be kept alone in a tank. I would recommend a few speedy fast, dart-like fishies to keep him company lol. Or even another girl gourami. Also... I wonder if yours was a regular...

I only said that cause I am not sure yet. I don't need any ID's but if you are wondering, I am thinking of maybe a few Otos? maybe a pleco? Or this tiny little yellow thing that I can't remember the name of (it might just be tiny cause it is a baby in the LFS lol). Since it won't be "my tank"...

I am well aware of how big goldfish get. We had one get to almost 7 inches once! lol. Please understand, this setup is only temporary until they outgrow the tank. We have the old goldfish's 50 gallon on standby. I would just like to downsize for now and don't have the space for it right now. As...

I totally forgot about worms! I could be wrong since I am no expert when it comes to them, but I think if they are behaving and eating normally then you are fine. Just keep an eye out and good luck with your new friends! Spoil them lots! 🤣

If the problem continues then I would try another option but make sure their behavior is consistent and normal

Pleco maybe??

Sounds like to me it is a diet change/diet issue. I would recommend offering a different variety of food and see if the issue persists. Especially considering his behavior appears to be normal, I don’t know that you should be worried yet. (If that were to change, then you should obviously be...

I have two male, dwarf gouramis in a 20-gallon community tank that are doing fine, but the slightly bigger one can be territorial at feeding time (as expected). I also have a currently empty 20-gallon tank that will have a few algae eaters of some sort and 2 feeder goldfish. I may add some...

I’ve found that small filters like the one you mentioned (although I haven’t particularly used it) provide such little filtration, they are pretty much moving a portion of the water, and not necessarily filtering the whole tank. Just out of curiosity, can you send a pic? I don't have the room...

Dwarf gourmis are also generally less aggressive too. They only get about 2.5-3 inches.

Instead of the paradise gouramis, would recommend dwarf gouramis! They can have some pretty colors too. I have a few in with my danios and everyone is happy! Never had any aggression problems. Good luck!

Because of the space restrictions, I was already thinking a canister filter! lol. (:

I guess I forgot to say in the original post, I am pretty knowledgeable about aquaria, so I know what can supply the tank with. I have a few ideas, but right now I am thinking of putting my two guppy fry in there. (THEY ARE SO CUTE!). I also have a relatively decent idea of how to build one, but...

Yes. I said opinions. I will provide more information as needed, but I really am just curious to know your opinions on depth requirements. As I said, I am looking to make an aquarium, sort of DIY kinda, but not really. I have a friend who has kinda made a business out of repairing and DIYing...

I am sorry I offended you, but I specifically said, if you don’t know, don’t say idk. My problem with your post though, wasnt that you posted idk, it was more how aggressive the wording was and still is. There is no one right way to stock a tank and without all the information, say fish size...

I said I took 2 weeks longer than I normally do to do the water change, but that shouldnt have been her C.O.D. because the parameters were fine.

Also, I know what I said last night sounded mean, but I specifically said that if someone didn't know, to not respond with that. As such, thank you for the helpful response! My question to you though, is what is the mucus you talk about? Like how can you tell thats a problem? What does it look...

The water parameters have never once been anything but pretty much perfect lol. There are live plants. Plenty of them too. Also, sometimes based on how dirty it looks, I do more like 60%, but like I said… the water parameters are never an issue. Unless all my 1-2x weekly test strips (different...

(1) the population count is not too high because of the size of each fish. the harlequins are pretty much babies still & they will get moved away to a different tank eventually. I know its only a 'general rule', but if you can have 1 inch of fish per 1 gallon of water and I have... 2.5" betta...

I would recommend looking up the type of fish you have and then figuring out from there the minimum tank size. You should be fine with a 10-20 gallon with a lot of fish. Based on the image it looks like a platy, molly or guppy and those only need around a 10-20 gallon for around 5-6+ (a school)...

I have a female betta with some sort of damage or illness that she has had for a little over a month. I tried Pimafix and I think it got slightly better, but I can't seem to get it to go away. She is otherwise basically healthy. Eats normal and swims fine. At the time of the first three pics...
