Regular Member PaNdeM0niuM Posted October 16, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 16, 2005 with gouramis - do they only fight with their own species? hence, will only male pearl fight with a male dwarf will a male moonlight fight with a male kissing etc.... or are gourami aggressive to all gouramis regardless of species??

Guest Stuart Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 IME similar shaped gouramis will be aggressive towards each other. I haven't found aggression between pearl and say a dwarf gourami. I have had blues and gold bicker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member gumbo Posted October 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'd stay with a dwarf gourami because other gouramis get very big and I don't think you have enough room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Kissy Posted October 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'd go with another dwarf as well. If you did get a larger species of gourami, and the new edition was aggressive, your little dwarf won't have a chance. A pair of dwarfs will interact better than a dwarf and regular sized gourami, and it will help them to get over their shyness. Also, I don't think you have enough room in your 20 gal tank for the option of a bigger gourami since you also have cories and danios. How many of those do you have by the way? I wouldn't go with more than one or two more dwarf gouramis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Kissy Posted October 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'd keep 0-1 males in the tank. More than that and they are can be very aggressive toward eachother. Its probably best to get two gouramis and maybe get a couple more danios so they have more to school with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
