Cool. Thanks! Hopefully one of the other Gourami's is a female then. Maybe introducing another species has given him the urge! :D Any ideas if it is possible for different species to inter-breed? Regards.

Yes, we have two Honey and two red Gouramis. The reds are recent additions, these were literally added over the weekend. Forgot to mention but recently the large gourami damaged his/her Pectoral fin (or whatever the long bit is called), which eventually ended up with some of it dropping off...

Hello! I've been away from this forum for a long time due to moving and other bits and bobs. I have a large Honey Gourami that for the past couple of days has darkened in colour considerably, and is blackish around the belly and fins. He/She spends most of its time in the top corner of the...

Hi Dede! They are the best I've seen yet! But I'm still in that discovery stage of finding new stores. Next stop is the goldfish bowl in Oxford. Anyone been? Yeah the website is a bit confusing. There is a new store opening at some point soon, but the store I went to is at Harleston Heath...

People. Awesome, thanks for the input! Semper Fi, special thanks for the offer! :) After a long chat with my other half we've decided to move our 125 Litre community tank upstairs. Which gives me room downstairs for my Rio 400 which I'm getting end of next month! Again thanks. Matt

I managed to buy a couple more Brevis at the weekend, from a company called Maidenhead Aquatics in Northants. I can see why they got Cichlid retailer of the year in PFK. The moment you walk in you are confronted with a huge Malawi tank that looks awesome! The majority of their stock is Cichlid...

Assuming people here have ordered from them before, are they ok? Kinda feel funny about 'through the post fish'! Stock looks awesome!

Ok, sorry if this is a bit obscure. Just wondering if anyone else out there has a large tank in a first floor spare bedroom or something. Not sure if my floor can take it or not.... Built mid 80s. Errr. Thanks. :*)

Yes, MTS :lol: There is no cure!

Never seen any subspecies other than the one I've got.... maybe some at Trimar or something, unless someone can suggest a good retailer?

Cryosi thanks for the info. Acanthophthalmus Kuhli i think, if these are the ones with the tiger stripes. Originally I started off with six but found two dead :-( This was completely unplanned and unexpected, to be honest I thought they had all perished. Every so often (3-4 weeks) I do a 30%...

Yeah, I know their in there somewhere, but be damed if I can see 'em! :P I've got a bit of a mix, half the tank is rounded smooth gravel, while half the tank is sand. The Khuli was in the sand. The tank is Very well planted. Hopefully there are more. Does anyone know how many they spawn in...

I'd echo what William has said. Sounds like a algae or bacterial bloom that you would see in a tank that's nearing the end of it's cycle.

Tought I'd do a little spring cleaning in my tank, clean a few of the rocks, prune the plants etc. The last thing I was expecting to see was a Khuli loach! Having bought about 6 over 4 months ago, and having found two dead and not seeing the rest for about the same amount of time. This was a...

Hey Cryosi thanks for the info! For the price they look too good to turn down. I think I'll get one! ;) Cheers.
