    TETRA & GOURAMI COMPATABILITY

    I’m having success with dwarf gourami and a lot of tetras. The only tension in the tank is the single angle and 2 dwarf gourami drifting into each others zones. Nothing heavy though . My pleco appears out of nowhere and muscles his way through the planted substrate.

    Best Canister filters

    I’ve had a great experience with the Fluval 307. Great adjustable flow. Joyous hose connect. Easy of cleaning. Good looking unit. Quiet as a mouse and powerful if you need it.

    WATER HARDNESS

    Hey your water is your water. fish will live in it as long as things are in balance. We can over do things sometimes. Choose the fish ball park and let it happen. Marc

    So, what to do with the “not Cupids”

    Cichlids… squabble, for tank boss…

    It makes you realise how good you’ve got it when everyone is doing their own thing without the violence. It’s understandable when your charge is in a box. Balance is awesome when achieved and can be a thing to keep you up and night when it goes sour.

    The fish become more interesting in a well planted aquarium. They go about their business and enjoy the cover.
