Any Tips For Chocolate Gourami's...

[jnw1981]

Ive just added 3 Chocolate Gourami to my 120 ltr tank. They join 2 dwarf neon gourami and 6 mollies.

From what Ive read I see they aren't the hardiest of Gourami so does anybody have any tips?

After 2 days they appear to be ignoring flake food. Though they did nibble at a blanched lettuce leaf.
Ive hung some floating plants to give them some shelter and they seem to like that.
Also done a water change as I read they need optimum water conditions.

is there anything else I can do to help them settle in?

Thanks
