Now just need a female, they are the colorful ones. I'll keep an eye out for you. I spot them occasionally

That guy is very curious and is always very slick with his movements. He's got a lot of character. The females are definitely much more colorful. I had one that really looked like it had an animated cut on it. Be warned that you'd probably only want to introduce probably 2 females max (honestly would only add one) and males doesn't matter how much. Female samurai gourami are very aggressive much like most male fish species while roles are reversed for male samurai gourami.

This is an interesting post. At this point I only do low tech plants. I have the CO2 reg. & tank. I just don't want to go that far.
BIG, I have my lights on that same time schedule.
