Taking in unwanted fish

[Circus]

As far as tank mates go, when it comes down to just one 3 Spot Gourami what are my options?

Depends, if its a female it'll be very shy and skittish when alone, hopefully, won't withdraw. If a male it would chase everything in the tank.

You may be able to get away with neons in reasonably neutral maybe slightly hard tap water, they're a bit iffy when it comes to parameters sometimes. Most community fish will work with 3 spots depending on gender and shoal size

Maybe just the three spot and a bn pleco then? The two gourami stick to each other and the loach follows them around like a puppy dog. I guess being in a 10 gallon tank for who knows how long got them used to one another.

I'm hoping to upgrade to a shoal of 3 spots in my 55 but i haven't found any good stock yet

Then I can keep the neons in there. Good. I hate shuffling fish around. Stresses both me and the fish.

In a 29g I would assume they get a bit more territorial. My female in a temporary setup is in along with a horde of BN. She only chases them when they're on the glass lol.

Definitely a yoyo! He's a cutie. Can't believe how good they all look after being found in storage!

.....there were 834 neons when the lock up door shut.

Someone contacted me about the Yoyo loach, so it looks like the little guy will be going to a new home. The person already has a group of Yoyos, so he won't be lonely anymore. I will be sad to see him go.

I found a store in the next city over willing to rehome the two gourami and the yoyo loach. It is a small shop, and they seem to know what they are doing. I have faith the fish are in good hands.

Oh good! I'm glad you found someone you trust

It took some time. Several people contacted me about the fish, but most of them had tanks that are too small. The one person with a larger tank didn't respond when I asked what a good time for them to take the fish was.
