Most stores don't carry females because they're not as colorful. Tiger barbs are little tank terrors and don't do well outside the tiger barb species. They're a rough crowd and kill other fish. The calculator will take into account the room in your tank and how big the fish will get. It will also include how much waste the fish produce. Many of us use it to help figure out how to stock our own tanks.
I already have my tiger barbs, they're in my old tank and they are actually pretty great. What else would go well with this community? You could certainly do KuhlI Loaches , as for the other fish some of those might pose a problem.
Pygmy Corys are tiny so they might get lost in a 75, that's just my opinion though. Glofish would work and would look nice against a black substrate. Male Bettas can do well in a community but they won't in such a big tank because of all the other fish. You could do Shrimp depending on what else you get many fish eat Shrimp , but unless you have kept Shrimp before I wouldn't start with Blue Pearl Shrimp.
They are really expensive and are hard to keep alive. In the last little bit of your post you weren't clear about whether you disliked all Gouramis and Cichlids ar just the aggressive ones, because some Cichlids are peaceful Rams , some Apistos, Angelfish , etc , and most Gouramis are.
If you could give me any more fish you like I can make I complete stock list. BTW congrats on having a boyfriend that is willing to invest in the fish hobby so seriously with you. You could certainly do KuhlI Loaches, as for the other fish some of those might pose a problem.

Click to expand I really want another betta badly, and I know gouramis don't go with bettas at all.
What makes the blue pearls so difficult to keep? I just saw some for sell and thought they looked beautiful. Thank you for offering to help me, and yes, my boyfriend is certainly a keeper. He always indulges me in my hobbies. Brett S. Ok, so I looked at what you wanted and what you are looking for.
Here is a good setup for you: Sand Substrate, 4 or 5 background plants that are at least 10" tall, a couple midground plants, and some carpeting plant maybe java moss , Here is a filter if you don't have one- Get a nice piece of driftwood or a large stone for the middle of the tank, Let your tank cycle for a while. With a Betta you would have to understock the tank, which could work its just I don't think you would want a huge half empty tank just for a Betta.
Angels will work if they're added to the tank as babies. Angels are a little harder to keep, but are still beginner fish. If you love Bettas I would get some Gouramis, they are both labyrinth fish and are closely related to Bettas.
Give them a google they are amazing. In regards to the Blue Shrimp all Shrimp are harder to keep than fish, but Blue Shrimp need perfect water nitrates must be blow 10 , and are more expensive than other Shrimp. If you are really worried about the guppys then just get all females. Same with the swordfish. The snails wouldnt do so well with the angelfish and they would also breed like crazy.
Gouramis are in the same fish family as Bettas, and bettas are one of the only aggressive fish in that family. You might want bettas because of their colors, but I personally like Gouramis better because they are peaceful, have lots of colors, and do well in all sizes of tanks. I will insert some pictures of my Favorite types of gourami: Honey Gourami peaceful, best kept in pairs, can be put in as small as 10G, About 2" long : Blue Gourami also known as the 3 Spot Gourami peaceful, best in 30G or bigger, " long :.
So you want to know about angelfish? Well they are a type of cichlid that get up to 6". They have to be in a 20G or more, preferably tall tanks but its not needed.
Most people say its a peaceful fish but I believe it gets territorial and its just not worth risking it. Beginner level fish. Should be introduced into the tank as babys. There are no total peaceful angelfish but they are ok for a 75 gallon with its size, but if you get them try to put them, and the other cichlids and gouramis in first so they can sort of "claim" their territories. If you think they are too aggressive for your tank you could put a couple dwarf gourami instead. If you want something different or exciting you could possibly Most species of gouramis sold in stores are bubble nest builders.
After building a suitable nest at the surface, the male courts the female and a spawning ritual begins. As eggs are laid, the male retrieves them and deposits them in the nest, which he guards until they hatch.
Males can become aggressive towards the females after spawning in an effort to guard the eggs from being eaten, and females may need to be removed. Air Breathers Gouramis are a group of fish in the families Osphronemidae, Helostomatidae and Anabantidae. Gourami's Water Requirements Many gouramis are found in soft, acidic water in the wild, however the majority of aquarium species sold today are raised commercially in water that has a higher pH and alkalinity than their native environments, so they are very adaptable.
Housing Requirements for Gouramis The size aquarium you need will depend on which species of gourami you want to keep. What do Gouramis Eat? Gouramis Breeding Level - Intermediate Many species of gouramis can be bred in captivity, but some effort is required to raise the fry to adulthood.

I am in the last stages of setting up my new 75 gallon tank. My question is how many male gourami can I put into my tank? I have seen some sites recommend 2 females per male to combat aggression. Unfortunently, at petsmart and several other fish stores I've visited all I can find is male gourami.
They seem to be doing well together there but who knows what will happen in my tank.
