Looking For Gouriamis?

[Gadgetman1805]

hi there i have at the moment a juwel vision 180

was wondering i want to brighten up the tank a little bit at the moment have

x1 blue betta

x 3 small clowns (housing them to a bigger tank when get a bit larger)

x 1 para pleco

x 3 danios

x 6 fancy tailed guppys


x 3 small green cory cats

x 2 peppered cory cats


was thinking of maybe some dwarf gouramis are there any types that dont fin nip or are agressive while maintaing a small size be grateful if anyone could suggest other tank mates too

thanks

Tanks to small for them clown loaches.
Guppys and gouramis don't mix, plus male betta and guppys are a know go area.

yep know about the clowns for now i have to admire the betta! he hasnt touched any of the guppys

the thing is if u add the guppys in first

then add the betta in last he wont touch them!

also got an hydor bubble lamp going so hes far too interested in playing with that than the othher fish

thats just what ive found anyway

Not much go in gouramis any longer, they always seem to be ill.
What about some tetra's.

capital idea! Bettas are inquisitive.Mine has a favorite indian tear rock that I put in one day.He pushes it across the bottom with his snout, it's so cute!!! If another fish goes near it he'll chase them to the other side of the tank and then turn 180 and go back to his rock and push it again!

thought about tetras but theyre renound fin nippers and the betta definnately wont tolerate them for some reason.

love the plecos tho ive seen these yellowish kind of algae eaters but i hear they can get pretty competitive i may just get some khuli loaches and leave it at that

Depends on what gouramis. Dwarf gouramis, yes, but not thick-lipped or banded.

im surprised nothing has happened with the bettas and guppys

I would worry that the danios would nip the bettas and guppies fins, and I would add one or two more, at least. They tend to like more of thier company.

I second getting more danios. Personally, I would get 5 more for a group of 8 or your could rehome the 3 you have and get a group of rasboras instead. BTW, you can mix leopard and zebra danios since they are just a variation of the same species... that why you can have different patterns together.

Sooner or later, it will.
