Dwarf Gourami

[Torred1771]

Just thinking later down the line for my showpiece fish, im considering dwarf gourami's. Perhaps 1 male 2 female. I really like the dwarf flame gouramis but I am wondering the compatibility.

Tanks Mates May Be:
8 Harlequin Rasbora
5 Cherry Barb
5 Golden Barb
5 Black Widow Tetra
6 Clown Loaches

What size tank

What size tank

Sorry, should have specified, its 90 litres

The tank is waaaaaaaaaay to small for Clown Loaches. They get huge!

Maybe cut out one or two of the shoaling fish you've listed & add a single Gourami male. Seriously, that tank would be overcrowded without the Clown Loaches & the Dwarf Gouramis.

Just an idea:

(3) Dwarf Gouramis (1 Male 2 female)
(6) Black Phantom Tetra
(4) Cherry Barbs (2 male 2 female)
(4) Corys
(1) Mystery Snail (for Algae Removal)

Yeah no clown loaches. Clown loaches are a no go for anything below 75 gallons which is about 300 liters. Sorry I agree with what ruskull said I'd do

8 harlequins
4 cherries (2 male 2 female)
6 corys
3 dwarfs gouramis
Unlimited amount of shrimp
Maybe a snail.

Sounds like a nice group except I think the Corys would bang the shrimp around a lot with their swimming up & down the sides of the tank.

Yeah lol. And Torres just don't consider clowns. They will get to 12+ inches and I doubt you could house these monsters. As much as I like them there is also many smaller similar species that are better suited. Also where I live clowns cost $13 and the smaller zebras cost $1.99.

I would get
1 male dwarf gourami
12 harlequin rasboras
12 Pygmy cories or 8 kuhli loaches
Some shrimp
