    This morning I noticed a white spot on my dwarf gourami. It looked like a fungus as it looked like it was a bit "fuzzy" at a glance before I went to work. I know that is easy to treat and usually from water quality issues; I do 50% changes weekly and am only 3 days out from last water change so...

    Hi Everyone, So I've had my male and female (definitely a female, I'm in the UK...) dwarf gourami for over a week now in my new tank with 6 cherry barbs. The tank hasn't cycled yet, but the values are being checked every day and are as follows: Ammonia: 0 - 0.5 Nitrites: 0 Nitrates: 0 I...

    Hi Everyone, I introduced 2 dwarf gourami to my tank a couple of days ago, a male and a female. They seem quite happy and feed well, I give them a mixed diet of flakes, blood worm and brine shrimp which they love. They're in with 6 cherry barbs - they all seem to tolerate each other, I've...

    Hi Everyone! I am totally new to fish keeping (well, I did keep a couple of goldfish as a child like you do, but the cat soon took care of them :surprise:). I caught the bug when my boss showed me their beautiful marine tank and I thought hey - I want one of those!!! I've done my research...

    I bought a dwarf honey gourami about 3 weeks ago. I always check my fish before I put them in the tank but somehow I managed to let this guy get in there with two spots of ich on him. over the course of a few days, I slowly raised the temperature up to 86. He has had three salt bathd and only...

    I have a cycling 10 gallon tank, and my original plans were to get about 6 male guppies. But upon further research and looking at awesome fish, I think dwarf gouramis are super cool fish. I'm thinking about getting a single dwarf gourami and 3 male guppies. I have never had fish other than my...

    I have an established 10 gallon tank with 5 harlequin rasboras. On Friday, I added a male dwarf gourami. The gourami seems very happy and has been building bubble nests like crazy. However, he keeps chasing my rasboras and has them cowering in the corner of the tank. I would consider my...

    First of all, sorry for not being on here for a while, my life's been good but busy. My poor little dwarf gourami, Neo got ich about a week after I got him from the pet store. I raised the temp to 88 in the tank and he seemed to get better. Today though, I found him lying almost flat on the...

    So after plenty of research, I've decided I would like to add a dwarf gourami and a bristlenose pleco to my 29 gallon tank. My tank currently only has about 6 guppies (2 males 4 females) so my question is can I buy both of this fish at the same time? do you think the store will put them in the...

    Today i picked up some pristella tetras for my 45, and in the same tank, were dwarf gouramis! I know, dwarfs usually have parasites, but i figure, same tank, same bugs? I nabbed me one that looked the best, and had to go to work, so my dear boyfriend took care of acclimating him/her for me. =]...

    Good Day, Everyone. I'm fairly new to these boards (and anything larger than a baby biorb), but already received an incredible amount of credible information. It's unfortunate how overpopulated the internet is with incorrect or misconstrued information regarding freshwater fish and their tanks...

    I have 2 Dwarf Gouramis, 7 Zebra Danios and 2 Neon Tetras, I'm Sure that Neon Tetras wont bother them, But Im Concerned if Dwarf Gouramis and Zebras Danios will eat them, the danios are pretty big for their size. Should I add cherry shrimps in my tank? Thanks In advanced!:-P

I had 5 fish total survive the outbreak, they are currently divided between my tanks. In 1 tank I have 3 peppered cories, and in the other...

    Hi all, new to the forums. I recently stocked my first cycled tank with a blue dwarf gourami and 8 ember tetra. All the levels are perfect, water's clear, etc. After I got my dwarf gourami, upon closer inspection I noticed that his jaw is sorta screwed-up... think Jimmy from South Park. I've...
