    Re: Dwarf Gourami

    I'm not sure about samurai, but I used to hatch and feed baby brine shrimps and once a week powder cyclopeeze to my 4 chocolate and 11 kubotai in a small 1ft cube. The chocolate survived well and up to 7-8 months till I accidentally gas them with co2...

    Even with the kubotai feasting, the chocolate were very fast with the BBS, maybe cause there are so many tiny little thingy swimming all around. Perhaps can try BBS as they disperse and spread around the tank, eliminating spot crowding issue.

    Add some ketapang leaves. it should help a bit. Your pH may be of a concern..

    Like this can be quite pek chek. Like last time when I kept Red Wagtail Platys.
    Once a week, one of the beautiful ones (their black/red colour are really beaultiful) will die with no apparent reason,
    while the rest are doing fine.

    Can make one very frust, especially after all the hard effort.

    That's why I don't like to mix many types of fish together, since their pH requirements can be different.

    I keeping my pH close to neutral, so far all my fishes are okay, from samurai which need low pH to Asian rummy nose which need high pH. I believe is the cleanliness and stable water.

    Actually I am more worried about my snails.
    Previously, when the pH has gone down low, my Horned Nerite Snails died.
    And also, my beautiful seashell became filled with many ugly big holes.

    Re: Dwarf Gourami

    Even my PH bring down to 6.2. All my samurai dead,haha. Not sure why sia, all my chocolate gourami growing bigger. In my perspective, Samurai gourami is more sensitive than Chocolate !
    But got one time i witness my neon tetra attacking my chocolate. It seem like nipping my chocolate.

    Any other Guoramis? I don't quite like Samurai Guoramis.
