Dwarf gourami?

[Balbright1993]

Good afternoon,

I have a 75 litre (20 US Gallon) tank with 12 platies in it. Do i have space for one or two dwarf gouramis in your opinion?

It would be a push so I'd remove a few platies

Also, platys, while peaceful, are very active. The Dwarf Gourami, which is a much more sedate fish, might feel intimidated by all the bustle. If you have another tank and still want the gourami, I'd consider moving some of the platys.

Nice one, i still have my old 12 litre but i think my little sister wants it so ill just wait till a couple of platies have passed, shouldnt be too long, 3 of these platies are almost 4 years old!

IMO dwarf gouramis are pretty tough...

One only also unless you are convinced you have male /female as they are not nice to each other...
Also read up on DGI ;Dwarf Gourami Iridovirus | FreshAquaria
They may be better choices then this overbred one....

You could try a honey gourami or sparkling as well
