Aggresive Gourami?

[Lindsey577]

Hi guys, My Gourami is getting aggressive towards some of the fish in the tank he's in. My question is, would he like to have a tank to himself? If not, what kinds of fish could I put in there that he would get along with? Thanks!

Forgot to say, he is a dwarf gourami. (Don't know if that matters or not.)

That can just be the nature of the beast. If you have a 10g say that he could have for his castle that would be great but otherwise rehoming him would be a good choice. If your tanks not planted you could try adding several plants but most likely his behavior will continue.

If he's not getting on with other fish and adding more cover (plants and decor) doesn't work then getting him another tank is a good idea. What other fish do you have?

I have Swordtails, Platies, and Mollies. Thanks
