  1. Keyholes with Gourami in 50 Gallon Tank

    Hello everyone, I have a 50 gallon tank (footprint of a standard 55, it is just a bit shorter in height) with a small group of female pearl gourami, young Ctenopoma acutirostre, two plecos (a clown and a BN) as well as a group of 9 orange Venezuelan corydoras. I've never kept cichlids before...
  2. Stressed Wild Honey Gourami

    Here are two pictures. I have kept many honey gourami but sexing is ALWAYS an issue. All fin differences for example have been inconsistent, as proven females I have had were identical to my males'... and I have had females with less fat bodies than the males I'm honestly just considering...
  3. Stressed Wild Honey Gourami

    Hello everyone. I have a tank set up with a wild honey gourami, currently undetermined sex. For some reason the past few days, the gourami in question has been in the back of the tank and glass surfing, extremely stressed. I had believed it to be a female initially, then a male due to slight...
  4. Any clue what this thing writhing in the sand is?

    Was video recording one of my shrimp when I noticed it. Kind of creeping me out! (Sorry to send a link, it doesn't allow me to attach a video, and unfortunately it's impossible to discern from the sand when it isn't moving!) Would love any ideas as to what it is.
  5. Plz help! New to fish and one has fallen ill?

    I'm unsure of what the lump is as I'm not super knowledgeable on fish illnesses (lump makes me think tumor of some kind?) However I believe that is a common goldfish. They can get very large, over a foot long. They are social and need at least one friend, and a very large tank (preferably a...
  6. Unsure of whether one of my honeys is male or female

    I was watching the tank a bit and noticed the one I'm unsure of chasing the female, and then tipping herself vertically upwards very similarly to the way my male does when he's trying to get the female's affections, as well as getting extremely close to the female in a non-aggressive manner. I...
  7. Unsure of whether one of my honeys is male or female

    Generally it feels pretty obvious, however this one has had me stumped. She has been chasing one that I'm certain is a female a bit, but I'm not sure if it's just the average gourami-chasing-one-another thing as I've seen them all do that. My male has chased both of them around as well. She...
  8. Sudden Death of a Honey Gourami

    Hey everyone, I turned my tank light on this morning to find one of my female honey gourami laying on the substrate death with some snails trying to snack on her. She seemed perfectly fine yesterday so this has taken me extremely by surprise. I checked under her gills and didn't see anything...
  9. Any Artists Here?

    This is fantastic! The most I've ever managed with origami is a basic crane.
  10. Gamers, what Are You Playing?

    I love trying to 100% games! Unfortunately I've only managed it for a very small number of games though, haha. I've actually never played God of War!
  11. Gamers, what Are You Playing?

    Lately I haven't been playing too many games, but when I am I'm either working on my Terraria world, or chipping away at the platinum trophy for The Last of Us 2. Already got the platinum for the remaster of the first game, all that's left now is the second game!
  12. Labelled as Honey Gourami ‘Fire’

    I see it's been a while since you made this post, did you ever end up getting any of them? If so I would love to know how they developed. If you didn't, I'm genuinely unsure as to how they would turn out. I suppose it could depend on what size they are. I could see their colors becoming a bit...
  13. Are these actual honey gouramis

    I agree with the above, that they are all honeys! I will say though, that the first two being labeled as sunsets is odd to me. They look pale even for a plain yellow honey gourami. I have a friend with a honey that is extremely pale looking with similar pigmentation to those ones. No clue what...
  14. Any Artists Here?

    I love to draw! I recently got out of a funk and started designing stickers. Here are a few fish and birds I've drawn in the past week or so!
  15. Death of a neighbor's dog.

    So sad! I hope the neighbors recover from the loss soon, i know how much it hurts to lose a beloved pet. I really do wish people would keep their pets inside, they aren't wild and the chances of them getting hurt is just not worth it :( I will say, I do know that it is possible to teach a dog...
