freshwater fish - trichogaster trichopterus - opaline gourami stocking in 106 gallons tank - The Opaline Gourami and Gold Gourami. My favourite fish, which sadly passed away. The blue one went into fits mysteriously all of a sudden and I think it hit its head on the reflectors. Gold one passed away a couple days later. Water parameters all tested fine.

About Yourself: Nail Tech student. Sometimes I love my tank, sometimes I don't!! Trying to overcome black algae. Still too nervous about adding CO2, even though I have a Carbo Plus Unit and pH monitor! Would love to set up a 50 gal. malawi tank.
