Discovering the samurai gourami

I came across the samurai gourami on Facebook through Aquotix's page - they have them in stock, but it's limited. Valliant's chocolate gourami is also known as samurai gourami, right? I'm thinking of setting up a single-species biotope tank for these fish - would it be okay to have 8 of them? What's ...

juwel lido 200 project discussion and questions

exploring the connection between daily routines and aquarium fish

He had a whole fish room at home with 40 tanks, and every week, he'd do water changes and clean the gravel in all of them. Filters were ...

Re: Creating a biotope tank


When using a tank light with different modes, be mindful of the daylight period, it's crucial for photosynthesis but needs to be balanced with nutrients to prevent algae growth. This period can vary, typically around eight hours, but may be more or less depending on your setup. A "dawn/dusk ...
