Fish Fanatic
I have a 125 Gallon and a 10 gallon. In the 125 I have approx. 30 small fish including Zebra Danios, Candy Canes and Cherry Barbs. I did have Corydoras in the 125 but 6 of them died. I believe they could not compete with the others for food. I moved the remaining 4 corydoras to the 10 gallon about a month ago and they have grown and are thriving.
Since then, I purchased 5 Honey Gouramis. About a week after entering the 125 1 honey gourami was on the bottom on its side. I transferred it to the 10 gallon and it died a few days later.
This week I noticed another honey gourami was looking pale and listless. I thought about this at work and decided I'd move him to the 10 gallon when I got home. When I got home he was doing much worse--pretty much like the first honey g. that died. I put him in the 10 gallon 2 nights ago and he is barely holding on to life, laying on his side on the bottom, coming up for air and going back to the bottom. I expect him to die soon.
The honey g's are so docile and shy. It is hard to feed them in the 125. The danios, candy canes and cherry barbs go after the food; the honey g's swim away from it.
So, I'm thinking about moving my remaining 3 honey g's from the 125 into the 10 gallon so they do not end up like the other two. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
