Re: Choosing the right tankmates for dwarf gouramis

Just an update for those interested - I've finally introduced the dwarf gourami to the other two, and I'm thrilled to report that everything's going smoothly. No aggression whatsoever, and they all seem to be getting along just fine. It's actually quite fascinating to watch them interact - at times ...

Re: Choosing the right tankmates for dwarf gouramis


Keeping goldfish with a dwarf gourami means finding a temperature that works for both, since goldfish prefer cooler water. I've had experience with regular gouramis, and they don't get along with each other. My current three spot gourami is an exception, it's not aggressive and leaves my shy ...

Re: Choosing the right tankmates for dwarf gouramis


I can vouch for this. My 29g tank was a disaster with a single dwarf gourami. It started with just him, 6 cories, and a dozen neons. But within a week, everyone was running for cover. The gourami would patrol the entire tank, bullying everyone for food and territory. I thought plants and ...

Re: Choosing the right tankmates for dwarf gouramis

I only mentioned that because I'm still deciding. No ID is needed, but if you're curious, I'm thinking of maybe a few Otos or a pleco. There's also this tiny yellow thing I saw at the LFS - not sure what it is, might just be a baby. Since it won't be my tank to care for, the final choice isn't ...

Re: Choosing the right tankmates for dwarf gouramis


I'd advise against keeping two feeder goldfish in a 20-gallon tank, they can grow much larger than people often expect. If you're determined to keep them in the smaller tank, one might be manageable, but keep in mind they're social fish and prefer to have companions. As for the gouramis, I don't ...

Choosing the right tankmates for dwarf gouramis

I've got two male dwarf gouramis in a 20-gallon community tank, and they're doing alright. The slightly bigger one gets a bit testy at feeding time, which isn't a surprise. I've also got another 20-gallon tank that's currently empty, but I'm planning to stock it with some algae eaters and a couple ...

No idea at all, sorry. Need a pic to even take a guess.
