Jen Abe Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hi! I only started fishkeeping this year so I am still a real newbie. I currently have two twenty gallons and a ten gallon (that will be it for a while - no more space or time). All are planted and besides the tetras, danios, and rasbora I have so called centerpiece fish in each tank - a trio of honey gourami I like to call Team Zissou, a blue dwarf gourami named Cousteau and a pair of Apisto C who have yet to be named. I am also eagerly awaiting the arrival of dwarf snowball pleco. The content provided by Cory and his team has been integral to smoothing that initial learning curve. Though I still have a lot to learn, I am grateful to those like aquarium coop (and KG Tropicals) who are putting out such helpful and supportive information.

sankaz Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Hi Jen! Welcome from another newbie (ish). I've been having so much fun with my two aquariums. I'm trying to train on those before I get a third, larger tank. If you have photos it would be great to see some. I haven't taken any good photos of my fish, and just one of my cryptocoryne. And I can't figure out how to edit the photos to post them!! I'll figure it out eventually... Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your trio males and females, males only or females only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi - well, I intended to get a male and two females but ended up with three girls. They are very nice though, I love them...good color too and all get along well.

Lucky you, I only ever see males at my lfs but I want two females to go with my male, Mr Grumpy, and in the future would love to attempt breeding them.

Jen Abe Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) I wanted to try breeding them as well - maybe in the future. My LFS had a ton of them but they were so little at the time it was hard to tell. The girls are lovely...honestly Gourami have become my favorite fish. They have real personalities.
