Hello everyone. I have a 20 gal which has an 8" zig zag eel, pleco, and 2 female gouramis, one gold and one white. I can only have larger fish or the eel will eat them, as I have learned the hard way. I would like one more female gourami of a diff color. The eel was a gift so I can't just trade him in. (I do have a 10 gal hex also with small fish.)
Here are my questions. The newer gold chases the white but the white doesn't seem to be afraid and will just swim away then swim back close by. They are equal in size (about 2 1/2" ea). Is this chasing between females normal?
The white constantly eats my plants and the gold doesn't touch them. I use spirulina wafers especially for the pleco and the eel is hand fed blood worms, in addition to flake food, which everyone shares in the loose food. Does this plant eating indicate a vitamin deficiency?
Thanx so much for your advice.
