no, I'm still trying to find local kit guess I'll just have to buy one from outside.
continuing my post from last night (had to stop because had to go to sleep):
that pic I attached was how my tank started, it was a few days after i started cycling
All the plants that are curved were dying so I went out and bought more gravel (brown gravel), that was supposed to help with plants, but it didn't and the new gravel ended up clouding the water (even after i washed it thoroughly) and every since that I have not been able to get the water clear.
I then added the fish, I had understood that if I made water changes it would affect the beneficial bacteria and would have to start over, so I didn't do a water change. I got 4 3-spot gouramis or blue gouramis but 2 are yellow/gold and 1 white (too young i guess).
first impression: they are really stunning fish! when i saw them at the store the gold with stripes caught my attention because of the resemblance to a tiger, so i picked 2 of those and 1 blue to get some variety and the white one just because it is small. after a couple of days my favorite ended up being the blue one, probable because it looks like a shark.
after some time of having them: holy mollies! blue gourami is aggressive as hell, specially towards the male, she harasses the female gold and little white too but nowhere near as the poor male gold. I don't know what to do, i went to the fish store where i got them and the guy said i should separate blue from the others for 2 days so i did and when i put blue back in the tank it didn't take long for her to harass male gold again, although before she started harassing him they were doing some weird moves; I thought i was going to lose them but then i remember i saw a video where the gourami did that same move and i read in the comments that that was natural thing.
Blue aggression has decreased somewhat towards male gold but has redirected her harassment towards female gold. So she now harasses them both equally. Also, female gold sometimes harasses little white.
