new gourami, quick question, and a couple of pics! :)
 

ok ive had a 10 gallon cycling for maybe 2 months now :shock: ? i just havent really thought of what to put in there. but on a wim i went to petsmart and bought a nice looking gourami! but i want to know if:
A: i can put another gourami in there without them fighting?
B: if i can feed it peas just like a beta :wink:
and C: what type of gourami it is, i forgot but i have pics so you tell me!

Provide more plants if you wish add another. That gourami may harass a new tankmate.
Yes.
Three-spot gourami. A gold strain is directly related to the three-spot.

Nice cave in the middle. Congrats on the new pick up.

lol thanks alot!
looks like petstmart doesnt feed there fish very well, or hes just a hungry little guy! i fed him just now.
since i cant really add anymore plants i was wondering what anyother tankmates would be? i only have about 5 more inches of space keep in mind.

yeah i might put some panda cories in there since they dont get big at all (ive heard about 1.5 inches?) but ive also hear there not very hardy? is that true?

thanks for the link! most people said they get 1.5 " so i might be able to get three for a small school. plus theyll really enjoy that cave and all the plants to hide in and under. i better go mow the lawn since i only have 10 dollars and they might be kind of expensive? anyways ill get back to you guys when i get em.

My girlfriend has the exact same setup as you, which I recently helped her decide on.

She has a 10 gallon, and purchased 3 panda cories some months back. Then, several weeks ago, she added two gouramis. A fine tank indeed.

If you do get panda cories, try and pick up a small container of sinking tropical pellets/discs. Pandas are VERY small, so they'll only need like half of one disc, depending on the full size, and maybe a small pinchful of pellets. I mention this because it looks like you have flake food there - not that they won't eat it, but the gourami(s) will get them before the cories do.

Good luck!

oh yeah i was planning on picking those up anyways because i have 1 emerald cory 1 peppered cory and 2 albino cories in my 55 that have been wanting those sinking algae discs, i used to have some but there hungry little guys :wink:
