My personal favorite type of gourami are sparkling gourami's, which I think in your tank would be perfect. They are hardy, kind of shy but have a ton of personality, very pretty, and just overall amazing fish. :good:

Depends on the cichlid type that your looking at. Some type of cichlids are very aggressive and some are pretty peaceful. :blink: Just got to know what type your getting first.

Fish can adjust to the ph, and that's actually an optimal ph measurement for an tank so don;t worry about the ph. :good: Also, I personally never follow the 1" per gallon rule, because if it was a correct rule, than I could put a 10" fish in a 10 gallon tank. Just doesn't seem correct to me, but...

Is she starting to get really big and kinds square-shaped? Does she have a dark blue and black spot near her anus? It sounds like she is ready to give birth, so I would separate her soon. :good:

No problem Feral! :good: :D

If you go down to the bottom right hand corner, or top right hand corner of the page, you will see there is an button that says, "post new topic", click that and you will be able to create your own thread. :good: Also, I have never seen my amano shrimp jump out, and mine still hide behind this...

So your tank is still cycling correct? If it is, do not add any more danios or any more living things for that matter. Leave the tank lights on for around 10-12 hours a day, you can get a timer if needed. It is best to feed fish on a regular basis. It's also good to check and make sure all of...

i would do a large water change just to be sure. It couldn't hurt, and I have had experiences where a large water change has showed that it helps remove the parasite from the water, especially compared to no water change. Just my 2 cents(I love saying that! :good: .)

The pygmy cories would be killed unfortunately. i don;t recommend anything as an tankmate for a dp personally. But oto's tend to be the best option. Anything else is a risk. :crazy:

Wow, first thread! Ok, I just recently bought 3 sparkling gouramis, and it was kind of an impulse buy.... Fortunately, I was interested in them a while ago, so I do know some things about them. What I need to know mostly, is traits of behaviour, and anything specific I should know about them or...

Here's a link to the American Killifish Association: http://www.aka.org/aka/modules/content/index.php?id=2 Alot of good info there about killi's. :good:

I find that every betta has it's own personality. So it really just depends on the betta itself, like I had one that would only go with neon tetras, and I had another that wouldn't accept any other living thing in it's tank. -_-

My suggestion would be to get a timer for your lights, and keep them on for maybe 10-12 hours a day. You should see an improvement in algae control. And if not, then you can blame your parents for leaving the lights on for 2 days. :shout:

The brown algae you are describing sounds like brown beard algae. Not many fish or shrimp will eat it, and the ones that do will eat little of it. Would you happen to know your wpg(watts per gallon)? I think 14 hours is too long, but we need to know your wpg to determine that. :good:

Ok, stop adding the algae remover stuff as it will just make your fish sick and can also kill any live plants. There are many different ways to get rid of algae, and many different reason it can show up. If I may ask, is your tank planted? What is your wpg? Do you add any fertilizers to your...
