When I Get My 55gl Tank...

[Sean W.]

I really really like gouramies...

im thinking when i get my 55 gallon tank its going to be a gourami tank, plus loaches and corys and all the bottom dwelers..

but how many gouramies could i have? i asked the guy at my fish store, and he said 20-25... i call BS but i dunno

Thanks

Depends which species. 10-15 would be a better number and even that could be too many.

Try not to go overboard with bottom dwellers as well. Large numbers of a few species is better than a few numbers of many species.

good to know thanks...


so thats just over 3.5 gallons per gourami... if i had 15

im not even 100% sure if im going to get this tank.. i mean i really want it, but i have another hobby thats more imporant than fish ( a car ) that needs alot of attention and ranks above a bigger fishtank, and at the same time i look at my 10 gallon and i think whats wrong with what i already have, do i really need bigger... im being pulled no doubt...
