awww...I just read this thread and thought...hmmm a couple otos would work well. I would suggest them, I think they have lots of personality, and they do a good job of keeping things clean. They don't seem to like green algae, though.

Is there a reason your opposed to getting neons? They would be a better fit in the tank and they look very very similar to cardinals. You want the gourami to be your centerpiece fish, with the cardinals being the same size as the gourami it will look a little off.
well... i guess ill go with neons. i can hear everyone thinking (thank god!).. they do look similar and would be a good fit. i may look into some otos. any other suggestions would be great but thank you everyone for adding your opinion. i was hooked on cory cats and cardinals, but ill get a 30 gallon when i get my own house and have all of them. thanks so much. -ant
sry ara 35 for using your thread. can anybody help me out? im having trouble adding fish any suggestion here is my fish (check the sig.)
Id think plenty of light and not skimping on the feeding would help, but theyd probably still need/want supplements. One of my tanks is in front of a window that gets a decent amount of light. I get some algae in it, actually trying to cultivate it on some of the decorations and the back wall but keeping the other glass surfaces clean keeps me busy.
That depends on your deffinition of properly maintained. I have come to the conclusion that, if you have at least half your bottom covered in plants one otto needs about 20 gallons of planted tank to survive long term without extra food for it.
