Two Red Dwarf Gurammis

[kizno1]

is it 10uk or us gallons the problem is i think dwarf gouramis are going to be the biggest thing you will get in there

 

[TheOrangeJobber]

well its 48litres in the Uk, so I think this is 12 US Gallons?

 

[kizno1]

i think
2 dwarf gourami
5 neons
5 pygmy corys
would work how dose that sound

 

[TheOrangeJobber]

I don't really like the look of corrys, I want something a bit more colourful, how about a couple of guppys and maybe 5 danios? Also I like the look of clown loaches, how are they for my tank?

 

[kizno1]

clown loaches gt to big what about shrimp some of them are coulerfull
do yuo know what sex you gouramis
and you could have guppies endlers or danios

 

[TheOrangeJobber]

both male

 

[kizno1]

they might fight i would take one back and swap it for female or take them both back and swap them for 2 females
and what do you think about shrimp

The gurami seem alright with each other at the moment, one seems more dominant than the other but I can't get back to the pet shop until next week but it will be too late by then haha but they seem to have set up bases on opposite sides of the tank so they dont bother each other too much, and now I've added the tetras in there I think it will calm them down and spread the chasing out a little.

how many shrimp could I get, also which colours are there and will they eat algae and stuff, also could I get a shrimp and a bottom feeder fish and also could I get a shrimp and another small shoal?

 

[kizno1]

about 6 coz some breed quite fast
theres cherry shrimp http/images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&am...mp;aq=f&oq=
cbs shrimp http/images.google.co.uk/images?gbv=2&am...mp;aq=f&oq=
crs shrimp http/images.google.co.uk/images?gbv=2&am...mp;aq=f&oq=
and a couple more types but there the brightest
they will eat algea
and it depends what bottom feeders or shoaling fish you want

I saw some pearl danios I liked the look of and was wondering if when I turn the neon blue lamp on my tank it would make them glow like in a disco? As for bottom feeders I was thinking about a golden algae eater?

 

[kizno1]

pearl danios are fine
nnnoooooooo golden algea eaters they get 15cm and get evrry agressive and will kill fish alot bigger than them

 

[TheOrangeJobber]

haha ok I'll leave them alone then - do you think that the neon lights will make white fish glow blue like white clothes do in a disco?

 

[kizno1]

dont know ive only ever had white lights in my tanks

Becareful with danios as they are fin nippers so you may have probs if you decide to put guppies in, also they are very active fish and need space to swim so I think a 12 gall is too small.

Clown loaches need roughly 60-75 gall and red tailed sharks become aggressive as they grow and would prob be even more aggressive in such a small tank

Hmmm i'm so confused as to what to get next then haha, there doesn't seem to be much to choose from - how would another group of different tetras be?
