NEED MROE GOURAMIS!!!

[ANIM4L]

Ok this is what i have now:

60g - Fully Planted with Real Mopani Driftwood
1 Clown Pleco (Stripes)
1 Rubbernose Pleco (Pucker)
3 Ghost Shrimp (3 Stooges)
1 Blue Gourami F (Spot)
1 Gold Gourami F (Bananas)
1 Pearl Gourami F (Loch)
1 Powder Blue Gourami M (Dori)
1 Red Fire Dwarf Gourami M (Nemo)
1 Opaline Gourami F (Surf)
1 Angel M (Spaz)
1 Silver-Tip Catfish F (Bruce)
1 Synodontis Eupterus (Spike)
4 Clown Loaches (Bobo, Gizmo, Bozo, and Gonzo)


I just got rid of my albino pradise and my blue paradise "gourami" because i heard they get so aggressive when older, so i said no no to that, and theni got rid of my dwarf gourami, because he was kinda plain, so i am looking for more fish, preferably gouramis, but anyuthing would be fun! BUT NOTICE, in 2 days i will be adding a Black ghost knife to the tank, so i dont want anything smaller than 2 inches in the tank, and no aggressive fish (i would love a ruby shark, but i guess thye ar mean ) ao if you can please help me out!

P.S.- I was loking into a pink kisser, i know they get 12 inches, but in captivity usually onlyy 6-8, but is that a bad idea?

If anything, I would reduce the number of fish in the tank, as the current population includes 4 clown loaches that will soon demand at least 60 gallons to themselves. In less than a year, these fish will begin to approach their adult sizes of 8-12 inches, and their waste output will probably be more than a match for your filtration. In addition, the "silver-tip catfish" you have (also known variously as the "silver-tipped shark" and shark catfish") will definitely need to be removed, as it will eventually reach 24" in length. The Synodontis Eupterus, clown pleco, and rubbernose pleco will reach a combined length of about 16 inches, the opaline gourami will easily top 6" (if fed a varied diet appropriate for omnivores, which must include a vegetable staple), and some of the other gouramis grow to substantial sizes. Their may be some compatability issues with your selection of fish; in particular, the opaline gourami is known to be a less then amiable tankmate to smaller fishes (think dwarf gouramis). In short, there are several problems here, and they will surely not be solved by the addition of more fish.

I think your aquarium is way to over stuffed. the clown loaches get up to 1 foot a piece and you've got 4. Gouramis are awsome though.

I agree, way over stocked going on adult size.

Some nice fish though.
