In My Tank

[MojoDex]

any good lfs will bend over backwards to help you out honestly dont be shy to take the fish into them! if u are worried they wont take it ring them up first and explain the situation after all im sure your only concern is the well being of the fish

 

[Misfits204]

I will have to call the LFS then

thanks

Wait, is it a blue gourami? trichogaster trichopterus? or a powder blue gourami? colisia lalia?


J4MES

 

[Misfits204]

It is the one in my profile picture

 

[Misfits204]

It is a blue gourimis

 

[Fate2006]

Powder blue goruami... Dwarf no worries... Cory cats r the best bet for a small tank like yours, the anglefish will get from the size you have it, I'm guessing about 1/2-1", to 3" within a month... I got all 4 of my angles 3 months ago and they were only cute little 1"ers, now the smallest is 3" and the biggest is 5"

 

[Misfits204]

So do you think i have to get rid of the angel to get two cory catfish

 

[J4MES]

Yes but instead of two get 4 corys.


J4MES

 

[Misfits204]

Why should I get 4 corys would that be to much fish in the tank

 

[J4MES]

No you would be ok with 3 or 4. corys produce very little poop. And they are like tetras they need buds of the same kind.

Three cories will do, or 5 dwarf ones at a push. Then that's it - no more fishies

But in answer to this:

Yeah you guys are right but what do I do now

...the answer is - wait til your angelfish has gone before getting any new fish, even the cories.

 

[Misfits204]

How long do angelfish usually live for

 

[invader]

How long do angelfish usually live for

Why would it matter if you are getting rid of it?

Anyway, 10+ years, probably.

 

[Misfits204]

One gourimis and three cory catfish does that sound better?

 

[mommyof2bettas]

yes
BTW it's gourami
