Hey guys! Just got a 29 gallon tank. I was just wondering your opinions on dwarf gouramis are because they are a candidate on my list. They're very colorful and sound awesome, but I wanted to get your opinions on them and good tankmates for them. thanks!
 
Very nice fish! redsea! Im planning on getting one myself soon for my 20 gal, with a few Black Phantom tetras (possibly) and some green cories. :)
 
i have 7 male dwarf gouramis and they are really great. i have 4 different colors. i have some pics of my neon blues. here they are.

 
no aggression EVER. i think it's because i have no female gouramis for them to fight over. i have all male fish in my tank. it's just easier that way. i don't want to have fry in my tank.

Ya that is awesome!! And they are different species?? Cool
 
redsea, that fish is awesome. I am so split on what type of fish for my new tank.
 
They are very disease prone and can die without any warning at all. I lost my male a few days ago. ;~;
He was building bubble nests and seemed perfectly healthy the day before.
I would still recommend one, they are great personalities and are a joy to keep. I would get one from a reputable LFS rather than a chain store though, you'll have better luck with longevity.
You could also consider a female as well. I love my little female, she's just as pretty as my male was.
