hello all, I just was wondering how a school of 5-6 zebra danio's, 6-7 Platies, what type and how many gourami could i add to this?
dwarf gourami? it is a 55gal and it has been cycling for 2 months now, the levels are finally starting to work.

what about pearl gourami, they are more peaceful and graceful than the dwarfs?

Well, for some strange reason my new pearl gourami HATES platies. I had to relocate them to a different tank.

I have 7 platties (tank born) and a pair of gold gourami and they are fine - I also have 3 zebra danio in the same tank - also fine; perhaps it is becasue the danio were in first then the platties, then the gouramis at week intervals, so they have 'grown up togther' and therefore accept each other?
The only problem I have is how rapidly the baby platties grow, mate and have their own babies!
