Stocking Ideas Please

[Jozlyn]

I had a bit of a disaster on Sunday Lost a lot of fish.

90lt tank, over filtered (10 x's)

Current fish
2x BN Cats
2 x Male Guppy ( will be 3 soon, when I move one of my fry over)
1 x black male Dalmation Molly (bred him myself, he's gorgeous, totally black with a gold stripe along the top of his dorsal fin)
1 x Angel (half grown)
3 x Kuhli (Coolie) Loaches
1 x Dwarf Gourami


It all looks very empty, any suggestions?

 

[*Fishkies*]

How about another Dwarf Gourami? Or another black dalmation molly, male or 2 females?

So 90liters is about 20gallons? [i think]

2BNcatfish=10"
3guppies=6"
1molly=4.75"
1angel=3"[half grown,full grown=6"]
3Kuhli (Coolie) Loaches=12"
1dwarf gourami=2"
=47.75"
you should actually have double the size of tank that you have to keep the fish that you currently have in your tank...

You can't have two Gourami together, they'll fight

I have lots of mollies, lol, quite literally hundreds of them, the only reason this black one is in the display tank is because he's so gorgeous and I don't want to sell him.

I want something with some colour and personality.

Im not sure who told you that but gouramis can be kept more than singly. Sure some species are more aggressive but your statement is incorrect. That said I dont think you should add any more to your tank with your current stocking list.

I had 2 dwarf gourami together in another tank and one of them got harried to death by the other *shrugs* I would not put 2 together again.

I wouldnt buy dwarf gouramis period, that said, there are numerous variables for why your two didnt work well together. I am guessing you had 2 males or a male harrassing a female to death or your tank was too small or a combo. Either way because your experience didnt work out doesnt mean gouramis cannot be put together. If you want experience to prove it does work I keep 4 pearl gouramis in my 55 gallon with no problems whatsoever.

BTW, Sorry to hear about your dwarf gourami passing, thats a bummer.
