Hi!

Did you cycle your tank? Have you added any kind of wood to your tank? What are your water parameters? You need an API master test kit to find out the parameters.

Also - not to be a pain in the neck but you might get a few funny looks if you spell them like that! It's Gouramis, Parrotfish, Tinfoil barbs and Pleco. Some people might not know what your talking about there - just a bit of friendly advice!

Do you have driftwood in the tank? It frequently stains the water brown unless you boil the tanins out of it before use.
