Sound advice. I’m going to hold off on any new additions for a few months. See if gourami #2 makes it. Then I’ll try again. I had been looking for something to add color, but not too many fish inches. My angels were fun but I wanted something different. Maybe another schooling variety or ?? I’ll...

Thanks for the info. I’d known nothing about them and the lady at the store suggested them and I acted without research. Darn. The ill fish has died. The other seems ok so far but…

Just wanted to let you know the gourami has died. Darn it but not unexpected. Thanks again for your help today.
