How many male dwarf gourami's can be in a tank of 30 gallons?
Awh man.
I just bought 2 female and a male but I love there color and I wanted another male.
Do the males tend to be aggressive with other fish?
I have two males and two females in a 40g and everything is fine.. If anything I have this one female platy that bullies them a little bit.. But it's in a very docile tank.. Guppy, platy, danios, dwarf gouramis.

*************** I have 5 male dwarf gourami in my 29 gallon tank. They all get along fine. Here is my total stock in that tank per my profile: 5 Glo-Tetra 3 Dojo Loach 1 Rainbow Shark 5 Dwarf Gourami (all male) 2 Kribensis Cichlid 1 Half Black Angelfish and all get along splendid ....... including the small angel that nobody tries to "fin-nip." The reason I got so many dwarf gourami in the first place is that while I loved my lone male, I wanted more. Then, I saw a tankful of beautiful powder blue male dwarf gourami for sale at Petsmart ..... all getting along fine. So I thought to myself "if they get along here ... why not in my tank." Interesting, even aqadvisor.com does not raise red flags about too many dwarf gourami. AqAdvisor - Paul29Tank

**********Just out of curiosity how old are your DGs?

OK ...... the oldest one I got September 2013. The 4 newest ones I got 2 each on Jan 12 & 14, 2014.
Here is a picture already in my "album" right after I got 2 of the last 4 on 1-12-14:

I forgot that I had originally bought 2 on one day ...... then when I saw how well they all got along, I went back to PetSmart and got 2 more from the same batch. They are probably fairly young and measure about 2 inches or less.
*********I wish you luck, but it might not be peacful for long. Keep us updated on this becuase their is a lot of people that would appreciate the info.
