Does anyone know how to tell the age of a dwarf gourami, I own 2 and I want to know how old they are.

Also can corydoras catfish eat cucumber?

Any information would be appreciated as I m an amateur tank owner and I don't want to harm fish because of a lack of knowledge.

I think size is the most common way people guess at an age. Dwarf gouramis are already small fish but if he is 1-1 1\2 inches he is a juvenile and above that an adult. At 1 1\2 inches he would be somewhere around 4-6 months(random guess here). I know my powder blue gouramis is 1 year old and he is just over 2 inches. For your Cory question yes they can. It may not be the most nutritious food since its mostly water.
