Hello all,
So I have a 25G long planted tank currently with a male Dwarf Gourami, female GBR, 4 Neon Tetras, 3 Glowlight Tetras, male Guppy, and A Clown Pleco.

I want a pair of Honey Gouramis (Male and Female), but I am worried the Dwarf Gourami will fight with them. Has anyone had experience with these two species together?
 
I kept both together for a while and they were fine. It just depends on the fish but if you have lots of hiding places, they should be fine. Just keep an eye on them.
 
I had a pretty bad experience keeping them together, the dwarf gouramis started chasing the honeys straight away, and both of them died. My tank was a bit smaller than yours, but not by much, so I think it could be a bit dodgy. It probably depends a lot on individual personalities.
