  • Greetings from Dallas Fish Box

    So a little about me, I breed several species of gourami including Trichogaster pectoralis (Snakeskin), Colisa fasciata (Banded), Trichopis pumila (Sparkling), Trichopsis vittata (Croaking) and Colisa chuna (True Honey).

    I also keep Parosphromenus deissneri (Licorice), Sphaerichthys osphromenoides (Chocolate) and Osphronemus laticlavius (Red-Fin Gourami).

    The only other fish I breed are Corydoras (although I'm trying my hand with Celestial Pearl Danios). Currently I have breeding pairs of Corydoras paleatus and Corydoras panda in addition to several other varieties.

    What else... what else. All of my tanks are heavily planted except for my predator tank which contains a Clown Knife and Lutino Oscar.

    I'm a big fan of crustaceans too. I breed Cherry Red Shrimp and hopefully Amanos soon as I have a pregnant Amano shrimp I'm hoping to find success with.

    I have several species of MTS and 'pest snails' as well as Apple Snails, Giant Ramshorns, Gold/red Ramshorns and a couple of Bamboo Shrimp.

    Looking to the future, I'm picking up some Cambarellus shufeldtii (Dwarf Crays) and Sawbwa resplendens (Naked Micro Rasbora) this week that I hope to begin breeding as well.

          Hiya! Where in Dallas are you located? (I grew up there...)

          If you're ever down in Houston, bring some of your gouramis and corys! I love the T. pumilas, they're great.  :)
