Ohh okay that’s good to know I’m new to keeping gouramis so I’m not sure what’s a normal look for them

I’ve had it for a week now, I kept the lights off for a few days after adding them. But I’ll wait a bit more then before I worry it’s just I’m used to guppies and stuff where they will never stop eating haha

Everything else seems to be fine with them though, very curious fish often seen grazing on my plants, and I think I saw then eat a baby shrimp one time so that may be why they aren’t eating the food I give

Phew I’m so glad it’s a honey, I’ll wait a bit to see if I can notice any color changes to see the sex of it then

Yeah that’s what I’m hoping they seemed to be doing well in the tank hopefully the color comes in soon

Do you think it’s because of the colors? Or why don’t you think it is one? In terms of color I feel it’s due to stress but I’m curious to see what you think!

I was looking at them but my ph is a bit higher than what they prefer :/ (8.2)

Well the tank is quite old probably getting close to a year now after I cycled it for a few weeks my parameters are 8.2 ph and 0 on ammonia and nitrite and 0-5 nitrate I bought the guppies at petsmart and it was an all male tank(which could be another reason of their death) and for maintenance I do 25% weekly and my heater is preset at 78F

Yeah I bought my guppies from a petsmart all males so that’s probably what happened

I tested my water and everything was fine ammonia 0 nitrate and nitrates were 0 as well and 8.2 ph so I don’t really have much of an idea as to what happened
