    45 gallons A. Cacatuoide w/ Pearl Gouramis & Corydoras

    Correct, the Pearl Gouramis are the main reason for getting this project. I love their size, and their colors, they have something majestic with them. The chain loaches could be a nice idea, as I already had khulis, so these would be different. It's something I could think about. To be honest...

    It's true that the khulies could be a nice idea!

    45 gallons A. Cacatuoide w/ Pearl Gouramis & Corydoras

    I agree it would be easier, but it's a whole different look and vibe. But I would like the Pearl Gouramis to be the main fish in this tank and I'm looking for appropriate tank mates for them as they're the fish that interest me the most for this project. I don't mind dropping cichlids that...

    45 gallons A. Cacatuoide w/ Pearl Gouramis & Corydoras

    Thanks for the explanation and the advice on how to go slowly and study the tank for months before adding others. I think you replied while I was replying to Rycraft, because I just saw your message afterwards. I understand what you mean about enthousiast people jumping on the first "yeah I...

    45 gallons A. Cacatuoide w/ Pearl Gouramis & Corydoras

    Okay, I will not get more than 3 Pearl Gouramis (1M-2F). I plan of having a lot of floating plants with long roots and also large driftwoods that goes to the surface. Yeah when cichlids are involved, the amount of gallons has little effect. The only upside I see here on having a tall one would...

    45 gallons A. Cacatuoide w/ Pearl Gouramis & Corydoras

    I understand what you mean, and I know my bottom area is limiting me. So far I only have two 36x12 aquariums available (19t and 24t) and this is preventing me all sort of stockings. A friend suggested me to remove the Rams and the corys from my 20 gallon, put 1x Apisto there (instead of the 45)...

    45 gallons A. Cacatuoide w/ Pearl Gouramis & Corydoras

    I think you misread the tone of my reply to you : I wasn't arguing or distrusting what you said. I truly appreciate your answers and advices and I trust them. I know I tend to ask "okay but then could I add this one and this one", but when I do it's not because I distrust your advice, it's just...

    45 gallons A. Cacatuoide w/ Pearl Gouramis & Corydoras

    Okay sorry I think Indeed got carried away lol So you believe the Bolivian Rams would be too much right ? Or it's the trio of Keyhole Cichlids instead of a single one ? Maybe I should stick to the 3 Pearl Gouramis plus either a single apisto OR a single keyhole OR a single Bolivian Ram. I'd...

    45 gallons A. Cacatuoide w/ Pearl Gouramis & Corydoras

    Thanks! So most semi-aggressive cichlids are only aggressive during pairing/mating (and feeding) what would be the max amount before it gets ugly ? By that, I don't mean more than one male Apistos, as I read in another thread this could be disastrous even in a 48, but more like : 1 single...

    Thanks ! Would it still work if we keep the corys and a school of small fish ?

    45 gallons A. Cacatuoide w/ Pearl Gouramis & Corydoras

    Hi guys, I'm new here! I'm currently setting up a 46 Gallon tall (36 x 12, 24T) and I plan on having 3-4 Pearl Gouramis, and I was thinking of having Corydoras (I have 7 peperred in another tanks, and 3 Sterbai. I was thinking I could either put the 8 peppered, or up the Sterbai to 7 or more...
