Hi, everyone. I have a 40 g black water tank with the following fish: 4 honey gourami Pair of triple red apistogramma 9 Kuhli Loaches 13 espei rasboras Now that the gouramis have settled in and colored up, I see that I have 3 males and 1 female. Is this ok? Should/could I add more females? These are new fish for me, so I don’t know enough about them to know if I’m going to have an issue. Thanks for your help!
Hmm, the honeys would be happier if you could reverse that ratio and have 1 male with 3 females, but it's hard to get females (at least around here). Got pics?
Here’s a pic. I have three that look like the guy on the right, and then just the female you see on the left. She spends most of her time hiding while each of the males have staked a claim to their own territory.
Honey gouramis are very peaceful, so it may work out fine, but you have room for more anyway, and it would be good if you could add 3-4 females, if possible.
Nice plantings I could be wrong, but the dorsal fin on the "female" looks more like a boy's to me. Is it shorter and rounder than the others' dorsal fins?
Somehow the last picture of my male got posted three times, but I swear I only did it once. LOL So the last three is one male. The female is the one on the left of the first picture. She has shown no signs of the darker underbelly like the other three, so I feel pretty confident that it’s a female. But I could be wrong. Like I said, I’m new to these guys.
