I couldn't resist...it was love at first sight...got myself a dwarf and a powder blue dwarf gourami!

(Oh yeah, and 1 more neon so I'd have 4 black neons and 5 neon tetras)

You guys will frown upon me for this but I got them at the PetSmart near my bf's house. The guy there is really smart and always asks customers about their setups and such when they ask him for fish. (He also showed me some pics of his tanks. He has a GORGEOUS 75gal african tank!) Anyways, they are both doing great. Seems like they each got their territories figured out and ate pretty well this morning. They were very curious about the plants (never seen live ones I'm assuming) and enjoyed picking the moss a bit. Alright, enough talk, picture time!

And Sparco got moved to his own 2 gallon tank with new white gravel, a couple black stones and silk plants

And here's the 15 gallon. Haven't posted pics of it yet so might as well do it here. Sorry it's kinda dark

In case you're wondering, the black in the back is plastic canvas; using it for my riccia and java moss to grow on

Ashley! Tank looks awesome! a few gallons bigger at a time! lol.... I love it though... the plants look great, love the substrate, background, bog log.... Great job! Not a huge fan of where you got the fish, that couldve been how you got ICH last time.... its not there fish are bad quality... its there home is nasty and filled with disease. I know a few people that have fish from petsmart and petco and had no problems though... so best of luck there ;)

Overall Thumbs up!

Ahhh, male gouramis.
Had one that was so aggressive, had to return him.

Both gouramis not showing aggression?

No, not really, I'm surprised. When one goes around the others "spot" he'll go to him and nip, but that's all. Other than that they aren't really interested in one another

Doing by far the best in that tank.

Thanks everyone :D

My powder blue is starting to show a little more aggression but the dwarf just swims away so I'm not too worried about anything yet.

lol, trust me, stick with two. planted tanks look a lot better with less fish and are also cleaner with less fish IMO/experience
