i never realized how cool gouramis til i went to a different lfs and noticed this blue greenish one, it was the coolest looking fish. now my question is would there be any problems adding one to my tank? its a 20 gal long with
4 platies
5 black neon tetras
3 cory's
also i will be adding a few more black neons.
thanks
 
i think there are no compatibility issues....
but after u add the neons, tank will be a bit crowded.... keep up with the maintenance! :)
 
You can probably add 2 to 3, depending on how your plans for the neons go. I've got 2 dwarfs in my 10 gallon. One's a sunset and the other is powder blue. They pick on each other from time to time, but all in all, very peaceful fish.
 
I agree with tetrin. Also, make sure there's lots of plants (real or fake) and decorations so the gourami can establish his territory. He may be a bit agressive at first, but should have no problems settling down with the current fish you have.
