I Need Info On Dwarf Gourmi

I am filling my 80 gallon tank and so far I have

Grb
KuhlI Loaches
Otocinclus
And dwarf gourmi

I know thing on all the other fish and everything but I need stuff on dwarf gourmi. Which kind go best with the fish that I am getting? What do they get feed? Ph, niterate, ammonia. Behavior. Basically anything that you need to know to take care of these guys. And what would also be help full is the amount of kind of fish. Thank you.

 

Hopefully someone with more experience will come by and help you with your stocking.

Just curious what temp you are keeping your tank at right now? That may help with stocking advice.

 

If you're getting dwarf gouramis you'd only get 1, as 2 will very likely cause a fight.

How many of each of your listed species are you planning on getting?
With the loaches and gbrs, the tank needs to sit at about 27°, but that's a bit too warm for the Otos, however there are different species and apparently the one does better with warmer water.

 

I am setting up a new 80 gallon tank. These are the fish in the tank

And dwarf gourmI

I have information on all the fish except dwarf gourmi. The questions I want answered are. What do they eat? Behavior? Water type? Basically anything you need to take care of them. I would also like how many of each fish I should get.
Thanks.

 

DGs are omnivorous so can eat a variety of foods. I feed New Life Spectrum Thera pellets, along with NLS veggie wafers, frozen bloodworms, Bug Bites, fresh veggies. They are shy and need plenty of cover. Depending on the fish, some can be aggressive to other gouramis (and a few other, similar species). Mine has not been proven to be aggressive so far (had him about 6 months), but that can always change in the future. That might limit how many you could have. Given the size of your tank, however, there might be room for different territories for them. I'm not sure I would chance it, but YMMV.

 

Thanks do you know if a type that wouldn’t be aggressive

 

Dwarf gouramis? Not really. Some are, some aren't. Honey and sparkling gouramis are purported to be more peaceful and you could do a grouping of them. I've never kept them personally, however.
