i currently have 3 gourami's in my 20gallon tank
an opaline, a sunset, and a dwarf

im looking to get another kind of fish to add, but im not sure what to get

i want somehting fairly easy to take care of and different looking, i dont like the typical fish look, i was looking into silver dollars, but apparently they will get to big, is that true?
any other ideas?

Amanda

Yes, silver dollars need to be in schools with a minimum of 55 gal. I'm guessing that tetras are the typical fish look?

Glassfish (Indian glassy fish) don't look typical. They're little clear diamonds, basically. They like being in groups of 5 or more, which would be pushing your bioload a little, but they're pretty clean little guys, and can handle things if larger tankmates get too aggressive (periodically happens with multiple gourami around). They're so fast that bigger fish pretty much just can't catch them.

Hi christine...were you the one that just lost a gourami? if so, have you figured out to what before you add more fishies??

Christine.

yes its because my tank isnt done cycling yet so i will be waiting until i add more fish, i just like to plan ahead

and ya tetras i would consider typical

Amanda

I'm not sure what else you could put in a 20 gal. with three gouramis besides tetras. Glassfish were mentioned, but that would be pushing your bioload a little. So you'd have to be very vigilant about water changes.
P.S. Post some pics of the gouramis, lol. I'm looking to get 2 for my 55 gal. and would love to see yours.

some little leopard loaches could be nice. look at "other fishies" album on my profile. that album is from our community tank.
