Hi,
I originally bought the minnows and tetras to get the tank started. The PH in the tank is about 5.5. So I am doing everything in favor of the paros and chocolate gouramis over the other fish. I plan to give them away shortly. I use RO water.
At feeding time, I feed the minnows on one end of the tank, and the paros on the other end. This helps the paros get the food.
Currently I have 6 of the blue line licorice gouramis, and 2 of the filamentosus, or related to them.
Today, finally, my chocolate gouramis spawned. The male has them in his mouth. I am hoping there are fry later on.
