Hi!

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name's Philippe. Was an aquarium hobbiest for quite some time, and just recently got back into it.

Actually on Sunday, my wife and bought a 50 gallon Clear For Life UniQuarium w/ built in Wet Dry, and yesterday put in our first 4 fish. We basically bought the tank for my son, who just turned a year old, and he LOVES IT! Especially now that there is fish in it. LOL.

So our first 4 fish are: 2 Gold Gouramis, and 2 Bala Sharks. Just to start of right now...More to come, of course.

Well hope everyone is having a good day. Take care.

Welcome to the site! If you want more to come you should bring back the sharks. Im not sure about there aggression but there size is a problem, they get to 14 or so inches. Look arounf the site alot of poepel have many posts on community tanks, there are inifinite ideas of what you could stock that big boy with.

Welcome to MFT
Your son is so lucky, one year old with a 50 gal. tank!
Bala sharks are not agressive so your other fish are not in danger, but C_paan is right about their size, they do get to be a little large for a 50 gal. Also watch those golden gouramis, they have a tendancy to not get along well together.
Good luck with your new tank!

Angelfish, when you say the Gold Gourami's tend not to get along together, are you saying with each other, or with other fish?

im not sure about a male/female pair, but i had two male gold gouramis and one was being bullied by the other non-stop until i seperated them.(aka bully in a bucket)
