yeah..

 

[Spanerman]

could i keep guramis or would they grow to large?

 

[Truck]

you could keep honey or dwarf gouramis yes

 

[Spanerman]

so 2 dwarfs and 6 guppys? genders?

 

[Truck]

2 dwarfs 1m 1f, but i would go for 3, 1m 2 f but go for honey gouramis instead, they arent prone to bacterial infection unlike the dwarf gourami,

guppys go for males

 

[Spanerman]

why would honeys be better? aer they more dosile?

so 3 gouramis and 6 guppies?

Sam

 

[Truck]

dwarf gouramis are prone to a bacterial infection and they will die within months of buying them whereas honeys wont

 

[Spanerman]

ahh ok, i think some tougher fish will e best for a new aquarium what would of add first the guppy's or guramis

 

[Truck]

guppies.

 

[Spanerman]

thanks jack, you have been a great help

 

[Truck]

no probs lol

 

[stang1]

I have to disagree about Guppies being hardy fish, they can be very sensitive and personally, I would make them the last addition.
You could start with a shoal of Glowlight Tetras, give them a couple of weeks to settle and then add some Honey Gouramies.

 

[Spanerman]

^how many would you recomend?

 

[stang1]

A shoal of 6 would be fine, although you could get away with 8 in there.

 

[Spanerman]

i think 6 glowlight tetras and then 2 honey gouramis would be nice.... my tank is a 16'' cube so swimming length isnt that large
