From a wholesaler I have used in the past - had to hit a minimum order so I'm fully stocked now :)

THanks for the tips guys, I got a shoal of 16 in today :) There awesome little fellas, I believe they are the Sphaerichthys Selatanensis variety, commonly known as Crossbands, or Cherry Chocolate Gourami. Pics once they've settled Tony

Thanks guys, I'll give The Fish Hut a try. Ian, is the shop in Wheatcroft an MA ? If so I might be able to get the guys at my MA to order some from their supplier. I'll let you know how I get on. Tony

Resurrecting an old thread ... I've been looking out for Chocolate Gouramis for a few weeks now, with no success. Has anyone seen any for sale anywhere recently ? Even my wholesale supplier cant get them :( Thanks Tony

Theres been lots of debate about these F1's - from what I gather they are not wilds, being tank bred from wild true album parents. They are a lot sturdier that true wilds, but its been said that they don't develop the same fin height and colouring of the wilds. Either way they are very nice...

Hi Murph I've got 6 botia striata in with amano and cherry shrimp and have no problems. They do eat any snails though. Tony

Hi I'd agree with jeff. My discus water is around the 6.75 mark, and is a mix of RO and HMA. Although I dont breed them, there are 3 pairs in the tank, and they all lay eggs regularly. I think the key is to try to match the water of whoever supplies them to you initially, then if you want to...

Rummy Nose Tetras. A bit of a classic when it comes to the "best shoalers' question, but there's a darn good reason for that :wink: :D

I have a similar setup to yours and Steves (300l / 2 x eheim 2026 / koralia 2) and the discus seem quite happy and lay eggs too. I would say it's probably good to have some decent size hardscape in there, so they can get out of the main flow of the koralia if they desire. :) Tony

Hi Andy I has 6 Marbled Hatchets, and yes they did leap out of the tank! I had a Hood on the tank, but over the past year I have found 3 of them on top of the tank braces, and one of them on the floor (never did work out how !) My last 2 are fine, but I do think they'll jump one day. My new...

I have similar experience to TDI-Line - 6 striata, with 14 cory sterbia, and they all swim together really well. The Striata will hide if someone moves in front of the tank, but they come out again after 20 seconds or so. I have a redmoor root suspended in the tank, and they love getting in...
