Hello All,
Just got my 5" GT today. Had a difficult time finding one larger than 3". First pic shows him observing while acclimating. Then I introduced him/her to my 3.5" juvenile Giant Gouramy and inhabitants of 90 in my 75 gallon planted community. Supposedly, they are suppose to eat my plants and smaller tetras. But they have not.
I've listed who the GT and GG tankmates are below. Understand that there is a huge possibility of my 1 inchers disappearing, i.e. 1" - 1.5" cardinals, black tetras, and SAE. But confidence thus far for this formula. So far both species are docile and calm to their little buddies and no havoc on floura. My plans are to keep them in my 75'er for a month or two, and upgrade to 110g or 150g tall.
What do you guys think of this unusual blend for this setting and combination? Has anyone here done something like this with either species? Testimonials are appreciated.
