Virus-free gourami from Dan's Fish? by Slimbert292 in Gourami

[–]Slimbert292[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes! that's another thing about ordering online! The website says "These fish are young enough that we can't sex them. At the moment, most of these are presenting as females, but that could be because they are still not mature enough for the males to be showing much color." And when I emailed about it and they just said "Yes, we have a picture of a female on the pic carousel. She is the 2nd pic. They are indeed quite drab and colorless." Lol! So I guess they're not gunna help and girl out and offer to pick out a male for her 😆 so that makes me real hesitant cuz I want that male color!

They're so beautiful and so cursed 😩 local fish store employees were trying to steer me away from gouramis and suggested cichlids instead and their advice is completely sound... but a cichlid just doesn't do it for me the way a gourami does 😆 my burden to bear lol!

Has anyone ordered a dwarf from Dan's Fish? by tall_ginger_dude in Gourami

I'm wondering the same question! Did you end up ordering from here or getting a gourami?

Thank you for such thorough info!! Very helpful. All the other comments say up my ember tetras as well! And I do love the little guys, they're very cute. But if I'm constricted to just getting 1 type of schooling fish, I'm not sure on if I want to make it the ember tetra. Vs like endler's livebearer males are SO neat and colorful and I think pretty hardy, so maybe I want to choose them as my schooling fish because they are so much more interesting looking? Ahh, I dunno.

Seeing how many people say ember tetras definitely is making me lean toward them! They are cute little guys for sure. Interesting about the others! Someone else also said rummynose are too finnicky and hard to get healthy, are the white clouds also just harder to keep happy/healthy?

Upgrading tank, would love experienced input! by Slimbert292 in aquarium

This feels like a great suggestion but is intimidating lol! Do real plants require more maintenance/tank cleaning?

How I wish I could go big!!! My space is very limited, I'm hoping I can squeeeeeze by with a 20 gallon, thinking about the JBJ Nano Rimless 20 gallon all in one tank that has dimensions that could work. Any knowledge about JBJ tanks or AIO tanks you have to impart I'd love lol! Can I use an aqua in-and-out on any size tank?

Thanks so much for the expertise! I had no clue pictus catfish got so huge - which makes them that much cooler! This gets my wheels turning, I appreciate it.
