a new member and fish keeper

Good day.


I am a new member here and I am a beginner fish keeper. I started to keep fish about 2 months ago and I still need to learn a lot .

I need some help to get the chaos sorted in my tank.
I've currently got a 310 litre (82 gallons US) tank and I've got the following fish in the tank.
2 x Pearl gouramies
2 x Golden gouramies
2 x REd dwarf gouramies
2 x Gosby gouramies
1 x Golden leopard pleco
1 x Common pleco
1 x Platty
2 x Cherry barbs
3 x Neons (use to be 14 but most got eaten by the angels)
4 x Angels

I think this is a disaster to happen between the spesies.

 

Hai and Welcome!

I will let the experts give you advice on your fish

 

welcome to TASA dude

 

Welcome to the wet nut house mate.... Not to much of a disaster there - the Cosby and Golden Gouramis will get a bit agressive as they mature and your Dwarfs may suffer.... the Neons and maybe even the Cherries will dissapear as the Angels get bigger + your Plecs will grow HUGE - maybe replace them now already with some Bristle nose Ancistrus cats - looks simmiliar,but only grows to round 12cm,not 40cm + like your current dudes

 

Hi & Welcome

Don't worry we all have to start somewhere, and I think you have chosen the right place to come and learn... Enjoy the forum.

The only thing that I have to add to what @azurekoi said is that if you have the dwarf Gourami's there is a possibility that you have purchased 2 males and they will land up fighting and bullying each other. I would suggest that you try and swop 1 of the males out to your LFS and get something else in it's place.

Thanks for the welcome.

All the. Gouramies is one male and one female and the two red dwarf gouramies is 2 females.

Welcome Stalker,
Enjoy the forum, hobby and new found-friends!

Ps: Please update your profile with location, so we can understand your water conditions and give advice accordingly...

 

I've been watching the gouramis after I've done a lot of reading and sometimes I've seen that the Gosbys and the gold gouramis will bully each other for a few seconds and when the other gourami turns around and bully back they stop. I've got enough hiding places for the gouramis, so I hope it is going to help a little.

 

Hello Stalker... Welcome to TASA

 

A word of warning... I have an adult male Golden and believe me even with all the hiding spaces in the world, no one in my tank is safe from his chasing and biting....:sad2:

 

My female Gosby gourami use to bully anny fish in the tank and when I got her a boyfriend shebecame better. The Gosby gourami is now the one that sometimes bully the female and other fish. He is about 2cm smaller than the female.
