I bought 4 but they are pretty sickly. I am not sure if they are all going to make it.

Congrats....even if they all don't make it I don't think you will be disappointed in them. Nice little curious fish who might drive the others nuts with their curiousity, but, hey, that is half the fun!
Love the way your camera captured the bubbles in the water.

I have some before, but not in a few years. I love the croaking noise they make.

Very nice looking fish. What do you have them in with?

Good luck with them

Bah, another one who can get nice pictures of teeny fish. Not fair! lol =P

I hope they all make it. If they eat, they should. Two of mine were kinda skinny when I got them, but I think that was simply due to them being rather slow eaters and couldn't really compete with the other fish for food. Now that they have even smaller rasboras and a gang of kuhliis with them they get enough to eat and have actually aquired a nicely round shape.

The tank has 2 dwarf gourami (male and female)a weather loach, a kuhli loach and a bristle nose pleco. They seem to be beneath the notice of the larger gouramis. They are all still alive this morning, so I think their chances aren't too bad.

One of the sparkling gouramis is dead... I am shocked that is the largest one. I really have to blame bad stock. I just hope I don't loose all of them.

GF, why did you buy sick fish? grrrrr I hope they didn't bring something home to the others. But with your care I bet the others will perk right up. I hope so as they sure are purdy.
