What are good breeds of tropical fish?

Question

I have angelfish, guppies, mollies, cardinals, clown loach, horsefaced loach, and a plecostamus.
I want to get some dwarf gouramis.

1.What are the different breeds of dwarf gouramis ?

2. What other fish should I get?


*The angel fish are semi aggressive*
*My tank is 35 gallons*

Answer 1

By that listing, you should not add anything new, but you may want to drop some.

Your angel fish must be small I think, because when that fish, which is a cichild gets bigger and older, it'll probably wipe out your guppies and pick on the cardinals.

Mollies should be able to hold thier own if they get big enough and if you dropped the Angel, that's a pretty decent community I think. If you insist on keeping the Angel, be prepared to lose your guppies and possibly the cardinals.

The Loach is going to grow to well over a foot long as well as that pleco going to be about 2 feet or bigger. These are going to be long term problems, that if you don't find them a bigger home, you should be prepared for them to live only a shortened life span.

Now once the Angel Loach and Pleco is addressed, talking about Dwarves, dwarves are a species of Gourami. There aren't different breeds of them. The main breed itself is Gourami and dwarves are one of the species of them. They would go well in your tank provided you addressed the issues above.

Other fish that would be ok with this grouping minus the ones I mentioned, would be killies, kienike's, some ram cichilds, and sevrums.

Answer 2

Well, let's start by fixing the tank you already have. Clown Loaches get a foot long and need groups of 5+, so you need to find a suitable home for the Clown Loach (a group needs 125 gallons). The Angelfish will eventually start to eat the Guppies and Cardinal Tetras, so the Angelfish needs to go, it will get too tall for your tank anyway... The Plecostomus gets 18 inches long and will become aggressive with your other fish. So, this leaves you with a tank with Guppies, Mollies, Cardinal Tetras, and a Horsefaced Loach. Assuming you got rid of the Angels, Clown Loach, and Plecostomus, you could then add 2 Dwarf Gouramis for color, and 4 Corry Cats (2 inches) to help clean the tank. If you have any questions, email me at [e-mail]. Good luck!

Answer 3

You already have a fine selection of fish and the angel fish are OK if it is the small variety. I can give you some breeds of dwarf gouramies.

Dwarf Gouramy; Colisa Lalia ;Size=2 and a half inches.

Chocolate gouramy; Sphaeichtys Osphromenoides; Size 2 and a half inches.

Talking Gouramy; Trichopsis Vitatus;Size 2 and a half inches.

There is also a Honey gouramy; Size 2 and a half inches.

There are other breeds but grow to 4-5 inches.

Answer 4

Sounds like your 35 gallon tank is already overloaded.
When you say "good breeds" do you mean easy to care for? Nice looking? Well behaved?
If I knew what you wanted to know, I could help, but unfortunately this question is so vague, I have no idea.
I would advise reading books.
This is a good "book" online.
