Dont buy a dwarf gourami, look for a honey or thick lipped gourami, they are much more hardy, and are more peacful

[@ohrats731]

rrr rrr i had a murderous thick lipped gourami 😭 Honey gouramis are the best though 👌

[@rrrrrr-ry3cn]

@@ohrats731 the honey gourami is a great speicis, yet it mostly sold after bieng fed hormon foods in farms so the females are strile in meny cases

[@stephsexoticpets]

my dwarf gourami is a good boy and has lots of personality. I have him in a 20 g with platys & they've been vibing for over a year now

[@AGDesigns123]

yeah my Dwarf got Swimmer's Bladder disease and died from over eating all my other fish's food (presumably?)

[@rrrrrr-ry3cn]

@Nigga Faggot who grows to 2 feet?

[@gavin1196]

The one thing I can say about dwarf gourami’s is sometimes how well they do might just depend on you. Mines very friendly to what’s in the tank but what stopped me from getting a second one to add is he showed very strong signs of being territorial and without many tall items or hiding spots it could cause issues. My personal advise is try to build your tank somewhat around them if you look to get them. Very beautiful fish tho, one of my favorites

[@LindaLights]

Thanks for your video and your practical tips. Always look forward to your videos, thanks for your efforts!

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Thanks heaps Linda

[@bobbyriley3418]

Love your advice about guppies I have never heard about that before but I wouldn't recommend Cory's as they need to be in a group of 6 or more and a 20 gallon

[@pjp9383]

There are a few types of corydoras that stay very small and might be ok as a group in a 10g, especially as a species only tank. Pgymy, habrosus, and hastatus are among the smallest corydoras.

[@redhawk5887]

I have 2 pepper coryies I keep perfectly fine in a 10 gal tank with my betta. Never had a problem with my pair. They are very entertaining and cute especially when they are zooming up to the top for air. And they get no bigger than a betta size.

[@aiqingzhou7290]

omg safe to say most consistant youtuber videos everyday

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Not everyday! Got nothing to do at home

[@Au_Aquatica]

It also depends on the species of Betta fish. If its splendens then I probably wouldn't even try to keep a sorority as they can still be highly aggressive. While species like Mahachai, Smaragdina, imbellis and alot of other wild types can be kept together but it should be watched carefully as some males can be overly territorial.

[@rrrrrr-ry3cn]

I have kept domestic betta splendense femals in sorority without any problem, but you have to keep 1 more agrresive fish with them and only put togther sisters or same age and size and shape females

[@Au_Aquatica]

@@rrrrrr-ry3cn yeah it really depends on the bettas individually as some are more aggressive than others. How many females did you manage to keep together?

Great video! I really appreciate the variety bc these vids can be repetitive :) 💕

[@samhoffman4318]

Hey just to let you know, corys don’t need a soft substrate to live. In their natural habitat they live in a mix of course, sharp gravel and sand. But great video!

[@ziggyboi4880]

I actually read an article from the guy who discovered them, and he said it was a "crime" to keep them in anything other than sand, sorry I can't link the article I have been looking for it

[@matthewzito6130]

I tried keeping Corydoras on gravel once (it didn't seem sharp to me) and they did eventually rub off their barbells. Now I have sand and they seem to do much better.

[@10kflash]

Can I use aqua soil instead of sand?

[@nayanmistry4641]

Hi Nick, I was just catching up on some of your missed videos and came across this one. I know you are a fanatic about the dwarf neon rainbowfish, but have you thought about playing with the psuedomugil rainbowfish. They come in a variety of flavours, fairly easy to breed, from what I've read/researched. I just thought it would add some interest to your tanks...just a thought really and they fall into the rainbow family too

[@crackheadjoedirt]

I just got into the hobby & I have a 10 gallon tank with 6 guppies. I had some ghost shrimp & a mollie but they didn’t make it, so now it’s just a guppy tank. I’m working on getting live plants & snails.

[@TuAmigoElMorrocoy]

My friend gave me a corydora as a gift, and it lived 5 years! I was very happy to have him lived that long, my Molly's and guppies never lived that long

[@jamesony]

You're recommending fish you've never owned... Sounds good.

[@nicolefey2137]

Dwarf gouramis are my fave! They make kissing sounds when they eat.

[@brettwood3827]

Guppies be like “well you’re inbred!” 😭😂

[@deborahoverton4625]

Have had Dumbo red mosaic guppies for a year and all of the females seem to have scoliosis so I would agree about genetic defects.

[@ianprososki6804]

The dwarf gourami should really be by itself in a 10 gal having more than 1 leads to lots of fighting. 2 of em in a 20 would work

[@carlo9725]

I had a dwarf gourami and he was cool he let me pet him and just a supper cool fish

[@aliaseymour6824]

Hi everyone, I'm not hating on Nick but neon tetras are not good fish for kids or when you have a big filter with big holes for dirt because i bought 5 of them a few months ago and from how small they are they got sucked into my filter and i did find out in till I took out my filter pad and found the scales and the body's, before I found out all my other fish died from the body's in the tank for so long without my knowledge. I had them in a 10g and they were my cousins favorite and when we cleaned the tank she started to cry in my arms. I'm new to Nick's videos and agree with every other fish and I want to say that I have had a brittle-nose pleco in a 10g tank before and they are amazing for algae eaters, though I don't recommend a common pleco only because they can get way to big for a 10g tank and that's the only thing you would e able to keep in the tank. This is what my opinion is on these fish. I hope this helps

[@mellewedin8221]

I will have to disagree with you on the guppy fish. I feel it depends on where you get them from. I got some one culls they donated. I have super fancy mutt guppy fish. They have a splash of endler in them that I threw in there.

[@TheJuraev]

How many fishes I can out on my 10 gallon tank, what kind of them I can mix and how many of them should I put them ?

[@joeingles5546]

Depends on the species, filtration, scale, etc

[@camerongabert3072]

A rough guideline to go by is about an inch of fish per gallon

[@Ashw1115]

Depends on the dimensions of the tank. I can make a lot of small fish work in my tall 10 gallon rimless tank. I can also make a lot of fish work in my 10 gallon long aquarium. Depends on what decor you put in.

[@rishavpal5740]

Can neon tetra survive without planted aquarium?

[@pk-ziggs2718]

[@bunniegutz2862]

How many female Bettas can I keep in the 10gal tank ?

[@thewalters694]

[@haleymock9671]

gourami's need tanks bigger than a 10 gallon tank they get huge. I have 4 of the silver/blue ones. But they're great to watch and keep they love to jump and be sassy as well so keep that in mind before getting one. On the Betta note males can be kept with certain type of fish as well as the females.

[@mikeymouse1985]

Is a 10 gallon sufficient for a pair of tri of kribensis or apistogramas kept as a species only tank

[@renee8837]

Are green neon tetras and corydoras okay in a 10g tank?

[@LucyGr]

Pygmy corys could do good, as long as you have sand. I wouldn't do the neons tho. Maybe some endlers or chili rasboras.

[@LucyGr]

@Aston Dence yes. Just dont have a thick carpet. And use sand bc the corys like it better :)

[@smudgedscribbles9476]

Hello! Thanks so much for the video! I am really curious about having dwarf gourami in my 10 gallon! I don't think I want them to breed, would it be better to have 2-3 males or 2-3 females? I was thinking females, but I wasn't sure if it mattered. Or would that not work out? I just want them to be happy 😊

[@alecgrosk7188]

The males can be pretty territorial but it’s so hard to find female dwarfs. Almost all big pet stores only sell males. So i ended up with just a single male in my 10 gallon. He is chillin on his own and is also great with the 4 pristilla tetra’s I have.

[@dawnbarber4429]

We have 3 males two gold, one sunset (didn't see any females for sale) and they do quite well together. Maybe it's the odd number. They have great personality. The tank is in my living room and you should see them when my daughter comes home they know it's feeding time.

Honestly, 3 is too few for a group of corydoras. Smaller groups will be more stressed and shy, and hide a lot. Whereas larger groups will be always out and about, often moving around the tank together. You do them and yourself a disservice if you don't get a larger group. If you really want both types of fish, you could have nice big groups of 10 or so in a 20 gallon.
