Hi so I have a bit of a disaster with the honeys, I brought the 4 bit I lost 3 within 48 hours, I don't think it was anything to do with my tank set up at all, they literally came into the shop the day before and were in a bare tank I'm the shop so I think the double move was just too stressful...

Will try tomorrow when the light is on, 1 has a definite black stripe right down to her eye.

There were only 4 left in the shop and couldn't really tell what sex so hopefully they will be ok! Think my tank is bug enough and we'll planted with plenty of hiding spots.

Hi so I'm planning to buy some honey gourami tomorrow and was just wondering how many to get. I have a 180 ltr rio jewel tank, already stocked with 12 harlequin rasboras, 5 neon tetras ( left from an old tank, won't be adding more and trying to rehome) 1 bristlenose plec, 6 juilli corrydoras. I...

Thanks

Thank you so much for your advice, 1 last question, I need to get a filter for my tank, being that the fish I'm looking at getting need a slow flow filter and I have a 180ltr tank is there 1 you recommend. I'm more at ease with an internal with the flooring my tank is on.

Last try!! Gourami?

OK thanks.
