Aquarium Honey Gourami fish care and tank setup. These fish are truly beautiful fish. I've kept them for years and adore these little guys. A quality food will make all the difference in the world. For a couple more dollars, you will have healthier fish.

This is a quick write up in taking are of the Honey Gourami fish. They are super bright colored and will add some awesome color to your fish aquarium. These fish are not known to be very aggressive so they are great for community aquarium. They should be kept and temperatures of 72 to 82°F.
The core of their diet can consist of mainly tropical flake food but you're going to want to make sure that you do get some meat in their diet because they are omnivore us. I personally use dried shrimp and you can buy it at Walmart in the pet turtle section. It's a great addition to add to their nutrition because shrimp is full of protein.
You can house them with other gourami fish as long as they are not too aggressive. If you find that one of the species is the most aggressive what you should do is get a more aggressive fish to overcome that gourami such as a... Cichlid. I had tons of issues with my gold gourami showing aggression to my honey gourami but then I got a South American cichlid and all the issues stopped.
Is this zabra danio bloated? I certainly think he might be but I'm no expert (yet haha).
Yesterday did a batch of de shelled peas, microwaved, cooled in tank water and mashed the best i could. They loved it.
He doesn't appear less bloated today (if it is bloat). Not sure what to do? I haven't fed them today. Diet is a mix of flakes, freeze dried bloodworm, tubifex and brine shrimp (dread brine shrimp days, they stink!). Also have algae flakes for my pleco's but the danios aren't really bothered about them. Thanks in advance http://gourami-fish.com/honey-species/
Ok help this tank has been up and running for a little over a month and this is the highest any of my readings have ever been in just did a water change yesterday because of the high readings and today amonia is higher I always test every 2 days I've never had nitrite over 0.25 till yesterday before the water change
Only thing I've done differently is I added a 10 gallon filter just to help with filtration about.
You guys are pretty knowledgeable so I thought I'd ask here.Tomorrow I'm ordering my first betta fish from over seas. And I have some questions about the process.
I'm down with sending the money to the breeder. We've got the worked out. It's when the fish enters the US, I'm a bit fuzzy. I've contacted the transshipper, and she mentioned shipping fees. I sent her an email to clarify, and have not received a response yet.
So, my question is, when my fish enters the USA, will I then be paying a shipping fee to the transshipper on top of the original fee for the fish that I've paid the breeder?
