Wyatt Castle said:. I have read that you are supposed to do 1 male gouramI and 2 females? Fishbeard Member. When talking about gouramis, stocking can be a little complicated. Here's what I would do with the info you've given so far: Either a group of honey gouramis or 1 dwarf gourami A group of guppies male and female if you want babies, all males if you don't!
10 Best Fish for a 20-Gallon Tank
Amano shrimp as cleaners nerite snails if you're looking for something to clean algae off the glass All the links given so far would be helpful, so I would give those a read before continuing! Good luck! Fishbeard said:. This is solid advice.
Why only 1 dwarf though? Mine do fine together, and most people have 2 or more together.. Marzahtha Member. Dwarf Gouramis are more territorial and you will have aggression issues.

They're also more likely to die less healthy. How many amano shrimp would you get? I would have guppys platys 6 cory catfish and center piece a dwarf gouramI love platys really hardy fish. How many fish would you add? I would add 6 corys 6 guppys 3 platys and a male dwarf gourami.
I wouldn't get 3 males dwarf as they will fight could try 2 but I wouldn't even risk it the shrimps might get eaten when they molt plush they don't live very long neons are pretty hard to keep due to them inbreeding they pretty prone on getting diseases snails are fine If you do decide to get 2 males dwarfs I would watch them in the tank in the pet store for at least 20 mins and pick the two what ain't aggressive towards the others!

Stocking Your Freshwater Aquarium
I personally wouldn't get dwarf gourmais or neon tetras at the moment. Do NOT get me wrong they are beautiful fish, just lately they hadn't had good quality anywhere throughout the US. They are very acceptable for disease. You will really need a QT tank set up for them, and be prepared for lost imho.

Allow me to clarify something here: AqAdvisor is best used as a guideline, but it should not be taken as an absolute measurement of stocking, you will still have to do a lot of research in terms of compatibility, diet, setup, and temperament. The algorithms mostly determine your stocking by the power of filtration you will have equipped for the tank, and as a bonus can indicate a median in water parameters for your stocking. I would discourage getting more than one Dwarf GouramI just to avoid subjecting your fish to the possibility of stress, illness, damage, or death.
It has worked for some people, but I honestly don't know for how long that lasted especially once the fish reached maturity. After maturity, many species can become feisty when they get into a breeding mood, males will be more competitive with each other. There's a larger risk that one will bully the other s into submission and you may find yourself with a stressed fish that hides a lot, or heaven forbid a dead fish that succumbed to illness from a stress-induced weakened immune system.
The more docile and commercially available species of gouramI that could thrive in groups would be Honey Gourami. The natural color form of Honey GouramI looks similar to the Flame Dwarf Gourami, it's just that they get an inch smaller and would definitely play nice with friends. MFK Member. Jan 3, 22 6 8 Hi all, I will be setting up a 20 gallon high with one male betta and I want to get him so tank mates. I understand that cories and tetras are good tank mates. I'm wondering, will guppies be okay in the tank?
I've heard mix reviews on this.

I would really love a pair of guppies. Best inverts as well I want shrimp. Oct 22, 77 Betta's tend to be hit or miss on what they will accept into their tanks. After 12 years of betta keeping I never had a successful tank mate from shrimps to sororities long term. Ive had betta's relentless attack snails and others that could care less about them. I have never had success with any other fish. We had some females 3 in a 29 together for awhile but they seemed to outgrow each other after a few months.
I beg and plead with my fiancee not to go down this road anymore as its just a crap shoot of returns with our setups.
20 Gallon Fish Tank Suggestions For Bettas
I have seen success in heavily planted black water tanks where the fish essentially cant see each other, and thats about it. Not my choice of tank so I moved away from community betta's. A plakat betta will fair better than a long fin'd variety as far as tetra's fin nipping goes. Betta's may leave the cory's alone or they may turn on them out of the blue. Avoid barbs. Oct 3, 39 California. Larger shrimp might be ok but baby shrimp and guppy fry would be seen as food for sure.
