Zzsharks Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hi- I want to put 6 endlers with 1 honey gourami in a fluval flex 15 tank do you think it will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I think it'll work out pretty well. Personally, I'd consider adding a couple more honey gouramis into the mix. They seem to do best when kept in small groups, IME. As long as the tank is planted (or, at least has plenty of hiding spaces) I think you'll do just fine.

Zzsharks Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 I was also thinking about putting some juili corys. If I got a few should I get only females I heard the males fight with each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 IME, Honey's aren't aggressive at all. I've heard of males fighting before, though, so YMMV. If you want to play it safe, it may be worth it to track down a group of females or a male/female pair. I think you can get away with the cories, too, although I'd be pretty careful about your water parameters and such at that point. I wouldn't attempt such a heavily-stocked tank without planting it, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzsharks Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 I am going to plant it a lot. Do you think I could have two gouramis would be ok or would I need more? I would be geting 6 endlers 2 honey gouramis female 6 juili corys 1 Perler weed mat 3 Java fern 1 Crsimas moss 3 Moss balls typo, I be getting a Pearl weed mat I used a Aquarium Stocking Calculator and it said 102 % stocked but putting some plants in would help it.

Zzsharks Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 or I could put six rummy nose tetra six juili corys 2 honey gourmies with the same plants I said the stocking would be 115% or I could just get one gourami and the stock would be 105% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Either list of fish would work, IMO. I'd add some stem plants or floaters into the tank to help out with water parameters a bit. I think two gourami would be fine. If you did have issues, you'd have to be prepared to separate them or add more gourami to break up the aggression. I've never had that issue with Honeys but I'm sure it's happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLineAquaticsSC Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I have done Honey Gourami with regular guppies without any issues in a 10 without any issues. I also wouldn’t worry to much about stocking percentages if it’s going to be a planted tank, as long as you keep up on maintenance it won’t be an issue. A side not though if your our counting on that gourami tanking care of fry, mine never touched them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
