I had a fish tank with a betta and mollies as a child....and as teenager and college student i had a bigger tank (70 gallons) with Gourami my fav fish....i learned by trial and error..i am 28 now and moving into a new house and i want to get an aquarium..i haven't had one in years so i feel like a rookie... i am going for a tank that is 120 gallons to 180 gallons...
I was going for the larger semi-aggressive gourami like Gold and Blue, Platium, Oplanie , Pink kissing, paradise gourami....i have seen them with angle fish so i was thinking about them too...in my 70 gallon tank i use to have a elephant nose fish with the gourmai, it went okay ....but the elephant was so sensitive.....it died in a week...my tank condition must have not been to good, but while alive he got along with the gourami...now i am thinking of a spiny eel of some sort... my friend said it would work...he told me something i could not believe...he said he saw angel fish and gourami in the same tank with Discus...is this true...or could he have been mistaken...aren't they harder to maintain and get bigger..how big...? aren't they aggressive?
what tankmates should i get (keep in mind i hate tetras and Barb)
i hear sand is better then gravel or rock..is it true .....why?...i use to have the common rock/gravel with a bottom fitler underneath (and a bio wheel up top)... can i do that wtih sand?
can birch go with gourami.. baby whale...?bronw knife?...ghost knife? opinions ...suggestion
