hey thanks for your help i went out and got a dwarf gourami from pisces and everything seems to be going great thanks again

ye thanks i just wanted to make sure that some of my neons didnt start dissapearing and one more question would i be able to place a ram in there as well? or would that just create a problem or something?

hey, i have a 20 gallon tank that has around 6 guppies, 3 neon tetras, and one albino cory first of all i know that cories and neons are schooling fishes and im going to be getting atleast 2 more cory cats and 5 neons (possibly 8) what im looking for is a fish that can be the centerpiece of the tank, i was thinking of a dwarf gourami but would neons be safe with it? or is there a better fish that that i should try? any thoughts ideas and suggestions are welcome. thanks

I think the electric yellows would be happier in a 33gal tank. If they are juvi's then you could probably get away with keeping them in a 20 gal for a bit. Keep lots of rocks and hiding places. I have read on other forums where people have kept them successfully in a 20 -25gal, however I don't personally feel they would be the most happy there. But you wont know unless you try... If they are not happy and constantly fighting then you could always put them into a bigger tank. Lana ye i was actually just gonna keep juveniles in the tank right now and if they do happen to be constantly fighting i would move them but now im having second thoughts about that do you guyz know of any cichlids i could succesfully keep in a 20 gallon? and maybe even breed?

hey i got a 20 gallon tank that i wanna set up and put some electric yellows in i know the tanks not big so i was wondering if i could keep at least 3-4 electric yellows in it? thanks

well if you wanted to you could just leave them in there and some of the babies will survive if theres places for them to hide, i dont think the male chasing them does any harm as long as the females have places to hide if they wanted to, and lol you dont have to put the female in any large tank, ive had females give birth in a fishbowl (she was only in there for like an hour when i was changing the water in her tank), a good way to tell when they are about to give birth is when their gravid spot is really close to their vent.

How about some cherry or ghost shrimp instead? I have kept Cories with guppy fry and with their own fry and if you don't mind a few fry missing then Cories would be ok too. Shrimp are a good clean up crew and they will breed also...baby shrimps are soo cute too. Tammy hey thanks a lot for your comments and ive thought of shrimps before but people kept telling me how shrimps occasionally snack on the smallest fries, is that something i should be aware of?

i was wondering if i can keep corydoras with newborn baby guppies without losing the guppies? also what other kind of bottomfeeders can i keep with baby guppies?
