gourami compatability

[sarojane3]

Hi--

I just wanted to ask if anyone has tried dwarf gouramis (honey gouramis) with any microfish (i.e. microrasboras).  I think that would be a fun tank to set up, but I don't want to try and find out otherwise!  

I'd appreciate any advice!

Thanks

Re: gourami compatability

Haven't tried it myself but what size tank are you planning to put them in?

I am sure if there is enough room, kept fed, and a good size group of microrasboras it should be fine.

Re: gourami compatability

I have a 10 gallon tank, and wasn't thinking of doing too many gouramis, maybe a small handful and would definitely love a good group of microfish!  Any suggestions on other types of microfish, other than the microrasboras?

I think maybe 2-3 gouramis is probably max for a 10g.....then a group of 10+ Micros.

There are tons of different Microrasboras but there are also...some smaller sp. of Danios like galaxy and erithromycin(sp?)...Dario Badis, Endlers, Killies..etc.
