25 Gallon Stocking

Well, my mom has a 25 gallon with 6 Platy's so far, and she's looking for more stocking options. So far she likes the Gourami's and Red Tail Sharks. Would a Dwarf Gourami and a RTS fit? Thanks,

Cory

being only a couple inches long, the dwarf gourami would be your best bet. However the red tail shark will grow up to half a foot long and will become more aggressive as it ages. I would reccomend, instead of the dwarf gourami and RTS, go with a couple of Sparkling Gourami (1.5" long each and very beautiful... they make noises too!) and a few otos to clean up leftover food and algae growths

I have heard of people having problems with keeping Dwarf's alive. Any other opinions?

Sparkling Gouramis are small anabantids (gouramis, bettas, etc) that grow to only about 2 inches. They are social animals, and prefer a group of three at the least. The noises they make are typically during feeding and during the night. They create clicking, croaking, and small grunting noises
