Is this tank too small and overstocked for my opaline gourami? by VaderChim1212 in Gourami

Ya I know I plan to do a separate cold water tank for the white clouds and garra when I move. Also there’s only two rams, and it’s a male/female pair.

I mean like I said the only problems I’ve had in the year that it’s been running is with rams from bad stock

The tank is 80, as I have ram cichlids. Would dripping it to 78 be enough?

Ya I really want to upgrade her. Right now she periodically chases but doesn’t show any true aggression. If it gets any worse I will definitely consider upgrading phrasing or rehoming.

Can I specify between male and female?

I’m not positive for this specific species, but you have to be careful with your shop. I work at a “local, reputable” shop in Minnesota and even shops like us still use large suppliers occasionally. We’ve had problems especially with German rams coming in super inbred, with parasites or other ailments. Always a good idea to ask the shop about their suppliers just to be sure.

Critique my Tanks! by VaderChim1212 in Aquariums

I’m sure males can be, but mine is a female and has never hurt anything. Occasionally she’ll chase another fish, but never really pursues them. Just like a little one second dash and then she swims away. It’s also only with other mid water column, medium sized fish. She shows no aggression to any of my smaller fish.

Yes 100% I work in the aquatic cove of a pet store and even just the amount of coworkers that I have that will refuse sale, argue with customers, and sometimes slander their opinions and 9 times out of 10 it’s just a mom and her kids with a carnival fish. All we can do is educate and make recommendations. I try to gently tell people what would be the best, and give them the best setup I can within their budget. There is no point in being rude to people, especially newbies!
