    Moving a Dwarf Gourami

    I'm three-weeks new to this and definitely started the wrong way - the local big box pet store told me I could add fish 2-3 days after setting up my 20 gallon tank.

Then I took out all my fish last week and done a water change. And he was even more shy. I had to check behind the plants to find him because I...
