I've never used a skimmer but have read that they are not much use in a f/w tank.

I've read some posts that suggest that you may have trouble in the future with some of your fish. I've got angels with cardinals and guppies and hope that the angels won't start feeding on them when they get bigger. Neons are even smaller so you might have a few problems there. I'm sure though that some people here have kept them together fine. To be sure you could get a smaller 2nd tank and move the neons over when the angels get bigger.

I've kept gouramis and have had trouble with them. Mine didn't exactly get on together, and took a disliking towards my guppies too. I had dwarf neon and dwarf red gouramis, but think I was just unlucky with them.

I'm not sure if others know what a red dwarf is, but I don't. What species of fish is it?

 

[fishsaver]

i think its also known as a dwarf

Common name/s: Dwarf Gourai

Scientific name: Colisa lalia

Family: Belontiidae

I used to have a red dwarf gourami......... Sometimes you will find that gouramis fight. My first time I had gouramis I bought 3....all the same size.......two of them ganged up on the other one and literally bugged it to death.....wasn't a good experience.......!!! Then,the bigger one of the remaining two decided he didn't like the smaller one and killed him too. Nightmare!!! Better news is that all the gouramis I have had since have been completely tolerant of each other.
