Hello,
I am planning on buying my fish tomorrow for my 20G tank I just finished cycling.
I went to the store today to look at their selection (knowing what I wanted) and see if they have the one I wanted. They have the Pearl Gourami which I wanted but did not have the thick-lipped Gourami. They had the Gold Gourami instead (max size: 4" => is that correct because I heard it should be 6"?).
Anyway, I was thinking getting both types.
The 2 Pearl Gourami they have which seemed to be a male and a female (but I have to look closer)
2-3 Gold Gourami (not sure about if they are male, female or both).
I heard that Gourami should be kept with 1 male for 1 or 2 female. Will this apply if I get 2 different types of Gourami (meaning - will it be an issue if I have a male Pearl and a male Gold with female of both type)? (I guess it will since they are still Gourami).
So, should I get them or is it a bad choice. It has been hard for me to find the fish I want for the size of my tank so any help will be appreciated (I really want my Gourami
The only other fish I will be getting with the Gourami will be: few zebra Danios and a brustlenose Pleco.
I can't wait for your replies to see if I should get my fish tomorrow or not.
