Male Dwarf Gourami (Trichogaster lalius). Total time: 6:31:02

I’ve actually kept these guys before, they’ve got a lot of personality for such a tiny fish! Mine was a big fan of the filter for some reason.

Introducing

✨Mambo Number 5✨ (Mambo)

And his very shy unnamed brother.

Currently operating under the name “right here in front of my Salad.”

i have had this little guy for almost a year now, but i have yet to come up with a name that truly suits him - any suggestions?

#my fish #fishblr #planted tank #dwarf gourami #blackwater #please no suggestions that are along the lines of 'blue' #i know he's blue that doesn't need to be his name

i decided to add botanicals to pearl's tank, now they are all various shades of tea!

i also rescaped her tank, and decided to drop the water level to add some terrestrial plants (philodendron birkin). testing the waters (pun intended) to see if the current tank lights are bright enough for floaters. if they're bright enough for the philodendron, should be bright enough for floaters, right?

#it's prolly gonna kill some of her plants tho so i may have to change the tag i use for hers #blackwater inspired #overplanted #pond scum #krambles #fishblr #bettablr #dwarf gourami #honey gourami #guillermo #jo #pearl

Still in the bag!

Meet Fairy!! Um... again. quq

I go to my LFS on Fridays so that I can see their shipments before the weekend crowd gets in, and the downside of this is that all the fish are on the pale side from stress because of their recent travel and unpacking. However, when I found her in the tank, she had a very clear horizontal brown stripe, which makes me certain that this honey gourami is female! She lost it in the bag here (again, due to the stress of traveling in my car), but she colored up in the tank within minutes.

feat. Jin Ling lurking in the back like a serial killer

All of the neon tetras were very interested in greeting her. Please just imagine that seagull scene from Finding Nemo where they're all going, "Mine?!" except it's my obese tetras chanting, "Food?!"

No. Fish are friends, not food. How are you this fat, I barely feed you any more!! I'm convinced they've figured out how to bite off the bottom feeder pellets I give the loaches once they soften up a bit.

I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU

Here she is trying to give Jin Ling a handshake with her feeler fins. He's not very receptive to friendship right now because he's got his breeding stripes on and is building a comically oversized bubble nest in that corner of the tank, but I'm hoping they get along once he calms down and feels less territorial. She definitely isn't as skittish as he is, and he stops chasing her once she leaves his bubble nest corner alone.

If I looked like that I'd admire my own reflection, too.

Overall, she is a very pretty and sweet fish! Even if it is difficult to take non-blurry photos of her due to how quick she is. I have high hopes that she will adapt well to the tank. Everyone in it is healthy, so if she survives the overall stress of transport and makes it the next few days, things should hopefully turn out great!

hey fishblr quick question are dwarf powder blue gouramis aggressive??? I just got two guppies for my tank the other day and I discovered that the gourami I’ve had for about three weeks now has been taking bites out of one of their tails. Is this normal? They’ve never done this to their other tank mates.

Additional context: I have a ten-gallon. Right now, I have the one gourami, two redtail platies, and the two guppies. I feed them once every 1-2 days. I’m still pretty new to this hobby, so any help would be appreciated

#pretty sure the other guppy might also be bullying the injured guppy too #at least the platies are behaving themselves #fishblr #aquariums #dwarf powder blue gourami #aquablr #I don’t think the guppy is gonna make it for much longer 😔 #like I looked it up and it said that they could coexist peacefully but???

Another one of my fish passed away today, this one had been ailing for a while and im pretty sure the cause was just age, they dont have a super long lifespan and he was one of the first I'd gotten with the tank a few years ago. I did my usual ritual of burying it among my plants.

It never sat well with me as a kid just flushing or throwing out a fish who died, its not safe for a tank ecosystem to let a fish decompose and be eaten as it can cause deadly ammonia spikes in the tank, but if I bury them among my garden its life can go on to feed something at least.

#ive lost a few lately but all my water parrameters are fine #so i think some of them have just gotten old #im not gonna add any new fish to this tank for a while #not until one of the current schools have all passed #bird chatter #fish keeping #i just hope my other dwarf gourami wont be lonely
