Lace Gouramis?

[lilacamy931]

Hello all we have a 160 litre (you may have seen various threads around the board) and we are currentyl trying to fidn teh perfect stokcing at the moment.

So far we have decided on:
2 freshwater neon gobies
15ish male guppies
6 glass catfish
2 pair of aspisto boreilli

We were looking into perhaps one or two lace gouramis. What do you guys think with the stocking above? And a male and female pair or lone male?

Mini bump change the gobies to peacock gobies and we are just trying to decide now on a male/female pair of pearls or Two females or two males. Any input greatly appreciated

Yes thats fine

I'll go for a pair, the males get stunning finage and wader full colours

pair it may be then! thanks helter! it was suggested to me other fish mayb suffer from the male when breeding

 

[helterskelter]

The males aren't to bad with lace's. Yes they get fisty but i guess your not be wanting to breed them in a community so with good filteration and surface turn over this will put him off.

there should be zilch chances of bubblesnesting thanks!

 

[helterskelter]

keep the water around 76 and this will suppress him too, from wanting to breed.

However it's the breeding colours that stand out the most
I'll help if u want to one day

 

[lilacamy931]

Aw thanks helter! We will get the fish first and sure down the road we will want to breed them"!

LOL their easy to breed, but if he cant build a nest then they will be put off from trying.
