(I’m unsure whether this is the right place in this forum for this message, if it is in the wrong place I apologise)
Unfortunately the liquorice gourami have died. Something I take full responsibility for. I purchased them with very little knowledge of the species family and the parameters needed to properly care for them.
I quickly began creating an appropriate tank for them but I could not condition the tank in time and they died soon after I bought them. I believe the main cause of them dying was my ignorance of this gourami family, something I regret heavily.
While I am disappointed in myself for allowing this to happen, I feel I am currently much better suited for caring for liquorice gourami now then I was when I first purchased them. I now have a fully established empty tank with the right parameters for liquorice gourami, and have several different live foods (my other fish are definitely enjoying the variety). I believe I have learnt from my mistake and can successfully care for liquorice species if I try again.
Is there anyone which would be willing to sell a species pair to me and which can send them to Australia? I am a beginner, obviously, and therefore I believe it would be inappropriate to attempt a high demanding species, but I am happy with anything available.
Thank you to everyone who has provided advice and helped me so far.
Thanks for the help. I have a tank right now that’s sitting at around 5-5.5, just trying to deal with an algae bloom before I move them in. if one of them does happen to be male that would be great, it would be unfortunate if they cant be id’d.
I have an already established Dapnia magna culture, but I’m setting up moina, vinegar eels, and brine shrimp also, so hopefully there diets taken care of. Because of laws in Australia about standing water mosquito larvae might be a bit difficult to reliably maintain but hopefully ill be able to come up with something.
Thanks again
