Sorry Carl. I think I accidentally replied to your email instead of the
newsgroup.
Thanks for the thoughts, would 2 dwarf gouramis be to much for the tank with
the snail in it?

Hello all.
I am a long time lurker and first time poster. I have enjoyed reading
the
different posts and opinions.

I have a 5 gallon octagon tank. It was home to a guppy and apple snail.
The guppy, which I raised from a fry, has passed on and I would like to
find
another tank mate for the snail. I know a guppy likes fellow guppies so
I
don't want to put another solo guppy back in the tank. I would
appreciate
any suggestions as to fish that would be okay alone in a 5 gal. tank and
would be okay with the snail. I already have a Betta (in a different
tank)
and would like to find something different.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Two male guppies (or more) would do well in your aquarium. I would
recommend male to keep your small tank from being over run with
offspring. Personally I like Dwarf Gouramis, and these fish do well in
small tanks too.
