I'm currently waiting for a my tank to recover from a camallanus worm infection which wiped nearly every fish. The survivors are a handful of baby guppies and a oto.
Lost 2 pearl gourami, 2 GBR, 6 rummynose, 5 zebra danio and 4 adult guppies, along with multiple babies. I do have amano and ghost shrimps who seem to enjoy the situation, and a dwarf orange crayfish.
In the meanwhile, I'm currently trying to plan my new stock ( Tank is a 26g bowfront with a fluval c3 and a canister 306, moderately to densely planted)
2 dwarf Gourami for the top layer
While I liked the pearl, they got a bit too big, so I'm looking for something that will remain smaller. But I know they might be infected by the gourami virus, so I'm not sure if its a good idea to get some.
The Gf would like to get some neon or cardinal Tetra, maybe 10 of them.
She would also like one angelfish, a very small one and hope he does see his tank mate as food when he gets bigger.
Finally, a pair of Bolivian rams for the bottom layer
So my main questions are :
Dwarf gourami : take the chance to get diseased one? (If not, any alternative for colourful top dweller ?)
For the 2 chichild species : Should I hope they don't like fresh seafood or it's a bad idea ?
If not, are there any alternative for a fish with personality but not as aggressive ?
Can i treat with levamisole when I'll restock, just to be sure ?
Any help would be welcome
