What Type Of Gourami Is Best For My Tank?

[mskazza]

hi again ive decided id like to keep a gourami or two in my 125litre tank with my tetras and guppies, what would be the best type to get and should i get a male and female?

 

[Fishy friend2]

I would get a male honey or dwarf if I were you...... But first what exact tetras do you have, some tetras can be very, very nippy

 

[Westwood]

+1 I would go for Honeys too!
Westwood

 

[Fishy friend2]

Or maybe a gourami pair

Ive got 6 xray 5 neons and 5glowlight, 4 male guppies and 3 ottos all do not bother each other and ive lots of plants

Also what other types (instead of gourami) could i keep with these fish? That would put colour into my tank, thankyou in advance

 

[Fishy friend2]

Hmmmmm, maybe some platies, or mollies

 

[mskazza]

Do mollies not breed with guppies? I was told that they do?

Because i love balloon mollies!

 

[Fishy friend2]

I've never heard that they do. But I bet if they did the eggs would be infertile

A trio of Sparkling Gouramis would do nicely

In a post about gouramis?

"Hi i'm a newcomer to the forum, I have a malawi cichlid set-up, and I was wondering what kind of armored catfish i could get? Maybe a cuckoo catfish?"
Me:
"You should get +10 Kuhli Loaches"
OP:
"But...but its a malawi tank..."
Me:
"Get the #41#### loaches"

 

[Fishy friend2]

Their livebearers they give birth to live.
