Q: Pour the water into an empty, clean aquarium or fish tank. Measure out the right amount based on the number of dwarf gouramis you have. Use natural, spring water or tap water that's been treated so there's no chlorine or chemicals in it. To treat tap water, run it through a dechlorinator. Place a submersible heater, which you can buy from a pet store or online retailer, inside the tank. Set it to a temperature no lower than 72 °F (22 °C) and no higher than 82 °F (28 °C) as dwarf gouramis need warm water to survive. Put an aquarium thermometer in the tank to monitor the water temperature. Because gouramis need soft, slightly acidic water, monitor the pH level so that it doesn't go below 6 or above about 8.8. Test the pH level at least once a month using pH test strips or a digital tester to make sure it's the right acidity.  If the pH is too high, you can lower it by adding natural items, like driftwood, or by installing a reverse osmosis filter. If the pH is too low, you can raise it by adding seashells or dissolving baking soda into the water. If you leave the tank too open, your gourami will become shy and skittish. Include a lot of aquatic plants and things like fake logs or large rocks for the fish to duck into or under.   Choose tall plants that grow to the top of the tank, like Amazon sword plants, java ferns, or hornwort. Never use items that you find outside, like branches or rocks, because they can contain harmful bacteria. Use plants like java moss or duckweed to provide cover for your gourami, which does best in darker environments. Add as many plants that float on the surface as you'd like. Leave at least a small area of the water uncovered so the fish can surface occasionally. Set the aquarium in a spot that's out of the way where your fish won't hear any loud or startling sounds. Good options include a bedroom, basement, or living space that isn't used often. If your fish is exposed to noises like shouting, alarms, or tapping, it can get scared and try to “escape.” This is dangerous because the fish will likely hit the wall of the tank and could injure itself. in the tank once every 2 weeks. To keep the water fresh, replace about 1/4 of it on a bi-weekly basis. Scoop it out with a cup or bucket, then pour clean water in. Be careful not to scoop up the gourami while you're replacing the water. Don't use soap when you're cleaning the tank or you could poison the fish.
A: Fill a tank with at least 10 gallons (38 L) of water per gourami. Use a heater to keep the water between 72 and 82 °F (22 and 28 °C). Maintain a water pH level between 6 and 8.8. Add decorations in the tank so the gourami has places to hide. Place floating plants on top of the water to create shade in the tank. Keep the tank in a quiet area since gouramis are sensitive to noise. Change out about 25% of the water

Q: This includes pre-packaged foods, eggs, and leftovers. The top shelf is easiest to access. Plus, storing these items at the top of the refrigerator helps prevent contamination because no foods are placed above them. Store drinks that are too tall for the top shelf on the middle shelf of your refrigerator. Avoid storing them on the door, where it's warmer. This prevents them from leaking onto your other ingredients and contaminating them. However, check over your meats to make sure they aren't leaking before you store them, as they can spread bacteria. If you find a leak, repackage your meat and clean up the spill using an antibacterial cleaner. Protect your crisper by placing your meats in a plastic container that fits on your lower shelf. If the meat leaks, it'll leak into the container, not onto your produce. Keeping your produce on the middle shelf makes it easier to pull it out when you're ready to cook. Plus, this keeps it above the meat in your refrigerator. However, your crisper can control humidity and provide the best environment for your fruits and vegetables, so you might prefer to keep them there. If you use the crisper, make sure you don't overfill the drawers, which makes it harder to find what you need. The door is the warmest part of your refrigerator, so the only safe thing to store there is your condiments. Group them according to type so it's easy to find what you need. For example, put jams and jellies together, group marinades together, and put all of your sandwich dressings in one spot. Most refrigerators have a small drawer below the top shelf where you traditionally store cheese. If you buy sandwich meats, you can also place those in the cheese drawer. This keeps your cheeses safe and easy to find.
A: Place ready to eat foods and drinks on your top shelf. Keep your raw meats on the lower shelf of your refrigerator. Put raw produce on the middle shelf or in the crisper. Keep your condiments on the door of your refrigerator. Put your cheese and lunch meats in the cheese drawer.

Q: There is no reason to be rude simply because you're ignoring someone. In fact, being rude will only escalate the situation. When you have to talk to the person, do so with formality. Say things like, "Please," "Excuse me," and "Thank you." Show the person basic manners while maintaining a somewhat stiff demeanor. This will show the person you're not being hostile but you don't want a lot of interactions with them. Ignoring someone should not be an aggressive act. Do not make faces at the person, roll your eyes when they talk, or blatantly pretend not to hear them when they address you. You are now being annoying in return, which is not a good way of dealing. Never taunt someone while you're ignoring them. You cannot completely tune someone out, especially if you work with that person. When necessary, acknowledge their presence in a manner that's polite but not overtly friendly. For example, offer a brief wave or nod when you pass them in the hallway. Reply to their question of, "How are you?" with "I'm fine. Thanks." Whenever you speak to this person, keep your sentences short and to the point. This will prevent any awkward or uncomfortable chatter. Sometimes, people may not take the hint. If someone continues to annoy you, even when you've tried to subtly indicate you don't want to talk to them, it's okay to make an excuse and walk away.  For example, a co-worker is being very critical about an aspect of your personal life. Even though you're giving non-comital responses, they keep at it. Say something like, "Okay, I appreciate the input, but I don't really need it and I have somewhere to be." Then, leave the situation.
A:
Be formal with the person. Do not taunt the person. Acknowledge their presence when necessary. Walk away when necessary.
