Just introducing myself. i have a pink Axi named Kate who is about a year old. The great love of her life is an opaline gourami named ozzie *as in ostrich. if I cant see you, you cant see me* these pair share the same tank food and hidey rock. Definately not unusual to see the gouramis head poking out one end and hers the other LOL.

Opaline gourami is Trichogaster trichopterus....a variant of the 3 spot gourami. They are very hardy and should do just fine in cool water. Trichogaster leeri, the Pearl gourami, is a bit more touchy.

As Joseph said mine is the above species and as for gill nipping ozzie is an extremely nervous and difficult to solialize fish that was given too me and even though he is at least 3 times the size of everything in the community tank he just got picked on something awfull. Kates tank is 18 degrees and both Oz and kate do well at this temp.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
