Trichogaster lalius & Brochis splendens

[RemirezyKrazy]

Added 4 Brochis Splendens (emerald cory) and 6 Trichogaster lalius (neon blue dwarf gourami) to my planted angelfish tank (6 angels + 1 pleco)
Is it good to keep Trichogaster lalius with angelfish? At present they keep to themselves and remain hidden behind plants.

You can keep together all the fishes but the water parameter requirement for the angel+cories are different from Trichogaster lalius. However all of they will adjust easily. I have many times this combination in the same tank.

where did u get the brochis splendens from, ramicrazy? awesome green colour that fish has!

[marsaiko]

I suppose he meant normal green/emerald cory. Brochis wouldnt be available so easily.

@romi : I got it from a lfs here at my home town in patna. He keeps absolutely amazing stuff. an order of kribnesis and scarlet badis is expected this month

@marsaiko: U may be right and i might have gotten duped; but does look like brochis to me. will get a good snap and post it. do confirm.

@marsaiko

what cory species do u mean by 'emerald cory' ?? scientific name? i am asking because as far as i know, only Brochis splendens is called an emerald cory and no other species.

@ramirezi

really looking forward to the pics. does he still have any more on sale? what store?

[RemirezyKrazy]

@ romi : I am sure it is brochis coz the the green tinge on the sides of these cories is beautiful and shiny. Yes he has a few pairs left. But he doesn't send stuff across through couriers. He had Pineapple swordtails and Melanotaenia splendida (both 50 bucks for a pair). Couldn't resist buying so bought half a dozen pineapple swordtails (2 males, 4 females)
Following are some pics but my cell cam isn't great and i don't think it depicts the exact coloration. Any how, here they are:
