JS Fish Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I'm setting up a new 20 gallon aquarium. Im thinking about dwarf or honey gouramis, peacock gudgeon and neon tetras. Anyone have suggestions or advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelElizabeth Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I LOVE honey gourami! A trio of 2 females and one male would be perfect. They are very peaceful as well, compared to dwarf gourami which tend to be more aggressive. I have never kept peacock gudgeon before, but I think they are very pretty. For a schooling fish, neon tetras are great, but my personal favorite are cherry barbs! For bottom dwellers, you could do snails, pygmy corys, or, another of my favorites, kuhli loaches!

knee Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I have a pair of peacock gudgeons right now and they mostly keep to themselves. Very colorful fish and they’re super fun to watch in a planted tank. They’re very photogenic too 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS Fish Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 Do you think it's better to keep a male and female peacock gudgeon or is it okay for just a male? Also, do honey gouramis have personality to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My female has been very docile in the tank. When I introduced a male she didn't really pay attention to him but they do swim together sometimes. A pair should be fine in a 20g.

Immune interact with one another using their feelers. They even interact with me through the glass using feelers. Mine eat from a coral feeder each getting in line to take their turn. I love them 🥰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS Fish Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 I think I might go with cherry shrimp, a small schooling fish, sunset honey gouramis, rubernose pleco, and maybe a peacock gudgeon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rainbow fish I havent thought about before. Thank you for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
