I have a small 5gal fish tank. In it I have a blue gourami, a opaline gourami, a paradise fish and a plecostomus (they are all very small in size when they get bigger I am moving them up to a 10 gal tank). What are some good live plants to put in the tank with them. I bought some at the pet store I got them from but they tore the plants apart. Right now I just have some fake plants in there they hide in, but I would like to get them some real plants.
What are some good plants to put in with my Gouramis?
youll need more than 10 gallons, a common pleco will reach about 24 inches and need about 55-75 gallons, and blue gouramies and all of its color morphs are one of the larger gouramies so you need to be looking into at least 30 gallons for a few months.
anyway, they arent picky as to live plants, not really known to destory plants, so swords, java ferns, anubius nanas etc.. They are all fine.
Reply:I would think that there is another reason on tearing your plants. I would suggest some:
Amazon Sword Plant
Banana Plants and any floating plants.
Reply:mine like to eat dying stuff off my plants -- particularly apongetons and water sprite.
what plants you get largely depend on your light conditions and how much maitenance you want to do.
if you have a fluorescent light you can go with lots of plants -- an incandescent will have less options.
heres a website to start researching plants on --
