New To Gourami's

[moomaker]

Hi there,

in summer i inherited a blue/three spot/lacy/(big) gourami, when i bought a job lot of tanks. It lived happyily in with my daughter's fish, until I shamefully realised it had hardly anywhere to turn!! sorry.

took it to my lfs, and they did me a great deal, he was 5-6 inches long and very healthy, but my preference for smaller fish meant i didn't want him in my 60 gallon. so i got on male and two female dwarf's. all beautiful and he's almost chequered orange and blue. he's named preston and the girls are named lou and mary. I have ordered some plants which come next week and have researched a little and on this site.

any special needs? my other occupants are
atman 883 internal filter
autumn gold gravel
5 guppies
6 mollies ( including one balloon and one HUGE female)
2 harlequins
3 pearl danios
3zebra danios
3 leopard danios
three nameless fish (rasbora family i think)
1 golden sucking loach

thanks

Your decision was a good one. the nly thing I'd suggest is to add to your rasbora school, find out what the unknown fish are and get rid of the sucking loach that'll grow to 10" and become rather aggressive.
