    Just picked up 5 dwarf honey gouramis for my tank, and I noticed that a couple have little brown spots that appear to be under their skin. Currently have them in a little hanging quarantine tank. Any idea what these spots are? Some kind of parasite? Is it safe to add them to the aquarium?

    Anyone got some plants/trimmings for sale? I just need something to fill my outside green house tank to help battle algae. So far I have very very little hair algae, nothing that my SAE's can't handle. :cool: I wouldn't mind stocking a little more plants to outcompete the algae for nutrients...
