gourami

Hi, I've had my three gourami, 2 golden and 1 blue, for about a year now. Recently one of them has been darting around the tank, hitting itself on the gravel in the bottom of the tank and then jumping out of the water and hitting the lid. After doing that for a few seconds it will drift around...

Hi I posted another one of this but nobody replied so i am trying again. I got some glow tetras on Thursday and fed them that day and they did not eat. That day the blue powder gourami was chasing the glow tetra around alot. The blue powder gourami still does it now. I tried feeding them...

I have a 20 gallon tank with 4 zebra danios, 1 blue powder gourami and 5 glow tetra. I just go the glow tetra on Thursday and fed them that day and they ate nothing. The day they got into the tank the gourami has been chasing them but the funny thing is the he has never chased the zebra danios...

Hi everyone, I've got a 500 litre (roughly) fish tank, I've got a bunch of fish, the majority of which i know what they are. I was wondering if anyone could identity a few of my fish for me. (please see the youtube video - link below)     the two pleco's - i think they are just common pleco's...

Hello.   I have a male Dwarf Gourami and recently purchased a Honey Gourami which I suspect is a female (based on the shape of the dorsal fin.)   I bought the Honey to go into a different tank but during the acclimatisation process and setting up the quarantine tank I put her bag in the tank...

I have 2 male dwarf gouramis and one/both of them (not sure if its one of them or both - they look the same!) keeps hitting the thermometer in the tank which then hits against the glass making a loudish click noise. He does this now and then. I've heard 2 other people say their gourami has...

I was holding the bucket as I had to use a smaller length of tube to siphon the water due to my father placing my regular tube elsewhere. As you can imagine, holding a bucket with one hand when it's quickly filling with water isn't a good idea, so I was shouting for my mother to quickly come and...

So, a month ago I put a melon sword in my gourami tank. About 2 weeks after that I noticed some Malasian Trumpet Snails crawling around, so I've been keeping an eye on the little hitch-hikers to make sure they don't take over. However, I found none today. The only occupant of the tank is a male...

Hey all. Advice needed if possible. I have a very very heavily pregnant Gourami (Aquired a breeding pair wasnt expecting it but wanted some Gouramis as 1 of ours died and the other looked a bit lost on his own) Ive had them since Saturday knowing she was ready to lay her eggs I decided to move...

Hey all.   We recently adopted a medium sized male golden gourami from a family friend who was moving and couldn't keep her fish anymore. She left her house in the care of another friend for 6 months, but he did absolutely nothing to the fish - it's a wonder any of them survived! The gourami was...

I have a tank with 2 powder blue dwarf gouramis in it. This morining, I found one of them laying on his side on the bottom of the tank, pale and breathing heavily. There is no sign of bloating or parasites. A water test revealed sky-high nitrate levels, which most likely are the result of...

Okay, so my dwarf gourami is sick. (He's called Aladdin) At the moment he is laying down the bottom next to the driftwood on my tank and looks like he's on his way out. He's done this a couple of times before... Acted funny for a couple of days, then literally looks like he's dying then hell be...

Hi,

Hello to all! My name is Natalie, and as stated in the title, I am new to this whole business. As of right now, I have a five gallon tank. I have one Dwarf Gourami and one bottom feeder. I've been reading all over the place that a five gallon tank is not sufficient space for fish, but it's all I...

I have two female blue gouramis in my tank and I recently introduced a yellow male, since doing this the smaller blue gourami has changed colour and become a lot darker than before. Can anyone tell me why this would be?

after I rehomed my pearl gourami from my biorb 105, ( 105 liters/ 28 gallon ) I began the hunt for a new centerpiece type fish. My pearl gourami was a stunner so I was looking for another gourami type fish. Many people suggested honey gouramis. I googled and didn't find much info. I have several...

 advice please! have a 3ft tank which has only platys and guppies in it, recently added 3 (2 standard, 1 dwarf) gourami as was told these would be good community fish, however the largest of the 3 became very aggressive attacking all the other fish (unfortunately killing 2 in one night) i have...

Hello, I'm a beginner aquarist starting up a 30 Gallon planted tank and am planning in putting a variety of Gourami's in it. My question lies in, which Gourami's are compatible together? and which of those can live in a 30 gallon tank? It may be important to add, I plan on keeping the tank...

Hi all,     My 10gal cycled last week and it appears to be doing well so I need some help with my stocking choices.  I've read a bunch of great threads on here for ideas but want to pinpoint any problem areas.   I currently have 2 Honey Gouramis, 1 male and 1 female.   I was planning on adding...

I have a new 10-gal tank in which i would like to keep a dwarf gourami, but i would also like some smaller fish for company. any suggestions? or could i even keep a dwarf gourami in it?? or is 10 too small?

Since we don't have a picture subforum, I'll just dump them here. Sooo...it's been two months since I got my gourami! It's been some whirlwind of trying to guess their gender and oversaturate the tank with plants to keep them happy. Right now they feel the most comfortable with the plastic half...

i have a 60 gallon tank with a pleco, 3 cory catfish, and 1 blue male gourami and i would like to get 1 female gourami but my question is could i put a male and female dwarf gourami in there?

All 5 of my pentazona barbs are displaying classic ICH symptoms, I didn't quarantine them because my Quaratine tank has two guppies with ragged tails in. My mistake. The guppy's will be returned to their tank on Thursday so I can isolate tank mates in the scaleless cories need a different...
