i had 3, but the 2nd day of having them 1 passed away . im still concerned about there eating, because my tank doesnt hav much algea. i havent seen them eat the cucumber or algea wafers yet, but they seem happy and love to play together! i think they might of paired up!

OHHH Cute!!! I think my 2 have too - they do everything together.

I havent ever seen mine eat any of what i give them...

8 neon tetras = approx. 12" ( 1.5" x 8 )
2 dwarf gouramis = approx. 5" ( 2.5" x 2 )
3 otos = approx. 6" ( 2" x 3 )
TOTAL = 23"

(I gave the maximum sizes, the fish are usually smaller than that. You're probably making it within 20". But ... you ever know, right?)

If I were you, I'd end my stocking with the 2nd Dwarf Gourami (the mate for your current Gourami). Besides, your tank is already looking GREAT with the 8 neons, soon-to-be 2 dwarf gouramis, and 3 otos. Very nice combination. I would neither add nor subtract anything from the current setup.

i just bought a female dwarf gourami ill hav pics up later

Cody

arent you overstocked...i dont think you should be adding more fish....or is the second dwarf on your sig the one you bought already

lilsoccakid

lilsoccakid

Cody

your doing good so far..i jut got my 20 perfect now i gott a 55 to work with

Isabella

Lilsoccakid, I am glad to hear of your new female Gourami. Must be beautiful - can't wait to see the pictures

Also, will this be your last addition to your tank, or do you want to add more fish? I understand it may seem to you like you're a bit understocked, but remember that gravel and decor also take up some space. So in reality your tank is less than 20 gallons in volume.

lilsoccakid

im pretty sure that im done adding fish. im trying to keep the tank understocked. besides the fact that the fish like it better, i think that a understocked tank also looks nicer then a bunch of fish cramed in a small tank

Isabella

Absolutely! I agree with you
