Ive starting my third tank which is a 29-30g. As of now it has two dwarf gouramis, two cory cats, and we just put in two blue rams. Originally we had planned on putting 3 rams in but the lfs said two would be better.
As soo as we got home the gouramis (two males) immediatly were chasing the rams around i assume marking their territory. After feeding them a bunch of blood worms, the gouramis are now sleeping (one in the hiding spot made for the blue rams and cories) and the other in the middle of the tank. Oh and i probably should add that one of the gouramis always chases the other one.
From what i've read, most people keep gouramis singly like betas, well because they are related to betas, so im wondering...
should i keep the two and wait it out? should i develop more hiding areas? should i take the non-community-minded gourami out?
We planned on having this as the living room community ooh's and ahhh's tank. Future fish are supposed to be a decent sized school of black tetras. Besides that, the girlfriend hasnt decided what she wants.
Any help or suggestions GREATLY appreciated. Im more of a plant tank kinda person.
