Ordered a bunch from a guy online. I have the fish in my sig. They were all eaten in 2 days by the dwarf gouramis. Is this normal? There are tons of plants, rocks and driftwood for them to hide. Crazy???

Exactly what should have been expected. A little pricey for feeders, eh?

I'd call that normal myself. I've found that a dwarf gourami can be a fairly resourceful hunter when it wants to be.

Mine were killed by flame tetras, for what it's worth. The tetras don't touch amano or ghost shrimp, but the cherry shrimp wore a "bite my head off" sign.

So sorry to hear that (for you & because I have a DG - so, Thanks for the 'heads-up!).

No worse than the ornate bicher that chowed down a baby tiger shovelnose catfish. That fish dinner cost $20, and the bicher didn't even leave a tip...
