3 spot with pearl gourami

[Adler]

Is it okay to feed my gouramis tetra pleco wafers? I haven't feed them anything veggie for months now and I thought maybe that could help my fish

Depends on the ingredients list. Tetra foods tend to be loaded with donuts and doritos. Kidding. You know what I'm saying.

has anyone put together 3 spot gouramis with pearl gourami? i've seen post of people saying they have put dwarfs with pearls with no problems but i've never seen someone say anything about 3 spots and pearl.

also if pearl is male and 3 spot female, will they mate?

I don’t know about mating or not, but how big is your tank? That will be a big factor

What veggie food do you recommend? please keep in mind the only brand i can find locally are Tetra and Aqueon, there is also Seachem but every food container of Seachem I've seen is already past expiration date

Pleco wafers from any brand aren't going to do anything for your gourami. If they even eat them, those are pretty hard bits, I'd say they'd spit them out. If you want to do something for them feed them some live foods, or like tiny pieces of cooked broccoli (they might not like that either)

Will mosquito larvae do?

How much peas should I feed per fish, I cut them down to pieces but should I feed one whole pea to one fish or...?

I'm not sure about that.

I occasionally drop an omega one veggie round or two (they're marketed as a pleco wafer) in my 55 that contains BN plecos. The blue gourami, angel fish and kissing gourami pick at and eat what they can of it after it softens a bit, which takes only a few minutes.

for the past ~3 water changes my male pearl stays still like this when adding the new water

I thought it could have been me adding new water too quick so second time I did it slowly but still happened. He stays like this for some minutes.




Other than that, he seems to be healthy. Other fish do not show this behavior

I'm surprised that gold gourami exists with the pearls and is that a kisser too?

I know with my male blue gourami has zero tolerance for any other fish in with him that's of similar size, shape, etc.

I do have a pink kisser and an angel in one of my planted 55s that have tolerated each other for some time now.
