kelseylynn Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'd like to get a few honey gouramis for my 10 gallon but it doesn't have a cover. I don't want to bring some home only to have them all jump out! And how many honeys would be OK in a heavily planted 10 gallon? I was thinking 3-4, would that be too many?

Wingin' It Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Any fish has the potential to be a jumper. These fish may eventually top out at 2"...i've seen some get fairly aggressive with one another...so you can beware of this. Maybe provide lots of plants for hiding in/around, add some floating plants if you can. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine with getting wet, stays in place, cheap and easily cut to fit. I'd rather be safe than sorry!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkangel Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I have bred dwarf honey gouramis in the past, I just sold my breeding pair at the last auction to a very nice lady that will take good care of them. I had my pair in a 10 gal tank filled 1/2 way with water and a divider between the 2 of them. If I did'nt see it I would not have believed it. The male jumped the divider that was about 4 inches above the surface just to get to his sweetheart and make babies for me. So yes, They can jump.
