I have a wonderful dwarf gouramis that is super peaceful. He's in a tank with long finned skirt tetras and a cobra guppy. They get along very well. My gouramis tends to swim closer to the bottom where my guppy swims closer to the top. But they pass each other often :)

Yes I think part of the problem was he was too big for my little tank, he found a new home with a friend of mines big tank! I went out and bought 2 zebra nerite snails :) hopefully they don't invest my tank, I'll probably be kicking myself in the *** for it later but I think they are much more...
