About Richard Hight
Expertise
I own several freshwater aquariums from 10 to 125 gallon. When provided with the correct information and detail, I can answer most questions about freshwater aquariums. Set up, cycling, maintenance, likely and unlikely tank mates, feeding. Moving? I've moved fish both across town and across the country and can help you get your little aquatic friends to their new home safely. I know about most freshwater tropical fish and some Cichlids including Angels, Bettas, Blood Parrots, Brichardi Cichlids, Cory Cats, Danios, Farlowella Cat, Gouramis, Green Severum, Guppies, Kribensis Cichlids, Mollies, Oscars, Platys, Swordtails, Tetras, Tiger Barbs & Uaru Cichlid to name several I currently own. If I don't know the answer to your question, I will certainly do research and find the best answer for you. If I don't know the answer and unable to find it, I'll tell you. I will not give it my best shot or an educated guess as this could potentially put your pets in danger. I am NOT an expert with Goldfish, Koi, Cod, or Frogs etc. I also cannot answer any questions about saltwater fish or aquariums.

Freshwater Aquarium - Fish compatibility?

Expert: Richard Hight - 10/23/2009

Question
I am in aquatic science at school and we have to keep an aquarium as a project. It have a 10 Gallon tank I have a Blue Gourami, a Pleco and up until recently. I got the Molly because the store people said they would go well together but my Gourami killed it. What fish would go well with the Gourami without getting killed?

Answer
Hi Daniel

The Gourami is actually going to get too big for your 10 gallon. You may want to reconsider the Gourami and get a few small peaceful fish. To answer your question, Mollies and Gouramis should go together, but if the Gourami killed the Molly, you may try Barbs or Tetras.

Good luck!

Richard
