I had a huge Pink Kisser that died a few years ago and I was so bummed...... that was the beginning of the end of my 75 Gallon FW. Sorry about your Gourami . Plan is to add a couple more, and then maybe a school of some kind of tetras and/or tiger barbs. I'm also looking at rainbow fish, rasboras, and non aggressive cichlids. I like your tank, and your little "no cat's!!" sign (But don't tell @Felicia ) 2 Quote Link to comment

She did fall into my 30 gallon once which insanely messy and resulted in a very unhappy Lily. 3 Quote Link to comment

Thunder Goose Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I love my rasboras. I like a good school of small, active fish. I like the activity. But I'm thinking of thinning out my lemon tetras and getting something else. I started with a school of five about 10-12 years ago. Now I've got 30 or 40. My favorite gouramis are pearls. But I also like platinums. Dwarfs. And... 3 Quote Link to comment

Thunder Goose Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Just now, Pjanssen said: Wow! Did you intentionally breed your tetras? Nope. Just put 'em together and let them do as they pleased. I've had emperor tetras breed (not not as profusely) and my green cories have tripled in number. A heavily planted tank gives the hatchlings hiding places and food. 3 Quote Link to comment

And there's so many kinds, I love the albinos and pygmies. 1 Quote Link to comment

Felicia Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Corydoras are one of my favorite freshwater fish. The albinos will definitely look awesome against the black substrate. The pandas are another of my favorites. You could have quite a few in a 55 gallon! 1 Quote Link to comment

Erm, 5-6+ I think? Not sure. Haha. They can be kept in trios but I saw a youtube video where the gal had a tank full of cories and they were all swimming together and it was SO cute! 2 Quote Link to comment

I'd like to tell you how many I have but I'm not sure since they keep breeding and my tank is very heavily planted. #NotSoHumbleBrag 2 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 we've decided not to add any new fish to this tank until after we get back from Australia so that the house/dog/cat/tank sitter doesn't have to worry about new fish. leaving Oct. 20. back nov. 4 2 Quote Link to comment
Thunder Goose Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Australia? Awesome! I hope you have a great time. I'd say I'm jealous but I leave in one week for 3 weeks in Botswana and South Africa. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
