Of COURSE they are my blue gouramis - lots of growing in to do if you are a plant and some growing up if you are a fish. Off to a good start, finally!

Hi JoAnn, didn't realize you moved again. No surprise blue gouramis went with you. Fingers crossed that the tank is settling down nicely.
great tank!!!
I also learned that a week is not long enough to cure silicone. I used it to attach the gravel to the loach lounges. Didn't smell the acetic acid for a couple of days, thought it was fine and thought nothing of it until the day I was going to buy the fish and the pH wasn't 6.6 anymore. It was 8.4! But the LFS tested the water - I couldn't believe the jump and the drop test (8.4) didn't match the dipstick test (6.8) - and their test (also a dipstick) said 7.3. Soooo, the LFS didn't have blue gouramis so I had to go to PetSmart where the pH was 8.8 (I measured it in the bag when I got them home.)! I just went with the drop test and dripped them until they were the same. Now, I can slowly decrease the pH until it is time to bring in the rummy nose tetras. A flock of 50 will be amazing!

These are a few of my favorite things?
