Opaline Gourami

[JacobThomson]

I'm thinking about going to get some Opaline Gourami tomorrow, I've done some research and people say they are aggressive, is this true, I have a 60L community tank, if it's going to disturb and bully the other fish ill go for something else. Would be grateful for any advice!

What fish do you already have

What fish do you already have

It's currently empty. It's a new tank and I've been cycling it, going to get my fish for it tomorrow!

 

[bettaowner]

Ok. I would advise only one gourami.

 

[bettaowner]

Also, don't add fish that resemble gouramis or that are fin nippers

 

[JacobThomson]

Ok. I would advise only one gourami.

Thanks! And that would be okay with other fish like guppies etc?

 

[bettaowner]

I guess. Make sure the guppies aren't too small

I didnt get the gourami today, I'm going to go back in a week or 2 to pick one up! I want to let the other fish settle first!

60 liters is 15 gallons right? opaline gourami get about 6 inches and that is a bit small for that fish. have you considered a dwarf gourami?

 

[aquandrew]

if you put fish in a tank too small for them, they will more than likely be aggresive

 

[bettaowner]

I didn't realize the tank was that small. I'd advise colisa chuna.
