color change - agressive behaviour with CHOCOLATE GOURAMIS..

[kostasonia]

Hi..

I have 2 very nice chocolate gouramis, they seem to be doing well in my 29g tank.

The 2 first weeks they were very shy but now they go up to pick up food with the rest of the fishes.

The problem is that one of them has started chasing the other that has lost a lot of its beautiful brown chocolate color...To me it seems they are both females, well...none of them has a yellow golden color at the end of the caudal or anal fin, so...

what can I do...?? I don't want one of them to end up stressed...

Well, you can separate them. Or try adding a lot of plants so there's plenty of places to hide.

if you get some caves, make sure they are caves that they will actually go in, some fish hate some caves.
