I will answer your question with another question: How much light does your tank get?
COngrats on choosing Gouramis!!!

Thanks for the add. Its good to see another Aussie on Fishlore!

It's really good that you're doing your research, I've heard so many disaster stories of people jumping into the hobby not knowing anything! What sort of tank do you want? -fish, plants etc?

Thanks for the request. We hope you enjoy the site. We have members of all ages and from around the world. They also have a wide range of knowledge. There's always something new to learn!

I have never heard of anLFS changing ALL the water every week before.They also don't worry about cycling issues.They go through thousands of fish every month,and have large filtration units,so replacing the water isn't necessary and they know that. I am not saying they're lying,but I doubt that's what they actually do.The sales people are supposed to sound knowledgeable,but seldom are and the things that come out of their mouth is normall gibberish anyway.

everyone and merry xmas ,i from leeton nsw australia ,i joined 10/12/08 and i really enjoy fishlore .com .i learning alot i hoping in the new year to buy a large tank called a jinalong rrha 1200 it 120cm (l)44.6(w)80(h) plus cabinet ,why so big ?i like to do a aquarscape tank for angles,i was wondering if anyone on the site has heard of this brand of tank ? as i am a big fan of "takashi amano"from japan ,if u havent seen his tanks worth a look. also does anyone know of any other brands of high tanks that are in australia ?
