2 days ago I bought a Red Dwarf Gourami from Petland Discounts. I observed the fish for a bit in the LFS while it was in the tank with other Gouramis (other Reds and 3 Spot Gouramis). He's happy and swimming around in the tank. I know they are prone to illnesses, but since he and the other...

I've never bought any kind of fish over the internet. But if you do decide to buy over the net, you need to check out how responsible they are at shipping live fish from there shop or warehouse to there customers/ buyers. If you can, call them up and ask them a few questions on how they ship...

Hi Lawrie, Male gouramis are agressive toward other male Gouramis and Females are agressive towards other female gouramis. Gouramis are like Bettas except that they are different in appearence and they both breath from there Labyrinth. Make sure the tank has plenty of plants and hiding...

Well from what they tell me Gouramis and bettas should not be kept together because they'll end up fighting. If you still want to get a Dwarf Gourami, I suggest you read NMONKS post on this page about Dwarf Gouramis because they are prone to illness. His post is at the top of Gouramis and...

I've just added my signature to the petition. Hopefully we can stop this cruel act against the bettas. :good:

My niece has a female betta. She's had her since last year after her male passed away. I got it for her after she had same day surgery as a surprise. I want to get her a Sparkling Gourami if I can find one. Will these 2 species get along, or is this going to be a disaster? Should I just...

I need help fast :crazy: . My Sponge Filter is getting on my nerves because of the noise it makes. Can I remove the sponge and put it inside the Nano power HOB Filter? Can I cut the Sponge filter in half so it will fit? In the nano filter I have a piece of carbon foam and anothe piece...

Varvan have you tried instead of gravel buying stones. The ones in my niece's betta tank are white or white washed along with some shiny precious stones that have no shrp edges. you can even get the precious stones in different colors to match your country's flag if you want. For bettas, I...

If you can Leeds..add some Aquarium salt to his tank, that should help him with his gill function. Salt will add essential electrolytes your fish will need to reach peak coloration and vitality. You can add it when doing water changes. :D

I nominate Samba for POTM. :good: :D

Can anyone tell me how long do platies live? :)

Did you add anything to the tank that made it blury? Try a water change first to see if the bluriness goes away. If not, you might try putting some sort of aquarium water product that clears up blury or cloudy water to see if that works. Good Luck. :good:

I need some help :/ . I have 2 Female honey Gouramis and no other fish in my tank. The big female tends to chase the smaller one. Why is she doing this? Should I separate them? The bigger female honey gourami is about 2 inches long and is a light orangey color and the smaller one which...

I need some info on filters. I have a sponge filter for my 2.5 gallon tank. I also have a battery operated siphon that works great. Should I get an extra filter, HOB or Internal filter to help the sponge filter keep the water even cleaner? Or should I just continue with the Sponge...

Today I noticed that my 2.5 gallon is a little dirty. All I have in the tank is a Female Honey Gourami and a Cory. I would like to do a complete 100% water change to get rid of the debris in the tank. The water in the tank is not cloudy, but just this once, I'd like to do a complete water...

I'm in need of some info on Gravel Cleaners. Can anyone recommend a very good Gravel Cleaner for a 2 1/2 gallon tank that DOES NOT syphon out water? Brand names, where it was purchased and price(if possible) will be appreciated. :D

Hey Valyrian, the hydro sponge filter tube should be submerged because if its not, it won't agitate the water and promote circulation. They say that the beneficial bacteria needs air to live in a sponge filter or whatever kind of filter the person may have. I happen to have a sponge filter...

Apart from the usual Tropical Fish Flake food for my Honey Gouramis and Betta Bites for my Female Betta, What types of live frozen food from pet stores would you all recommend for Honey Gouramis and Bettas? What about leafy greens? What kind can I or should I feed my Gouramis? :)
