Gouramis....

[George9]

I have a neon blue dwarf gourami now, if I added another gourami would they kill eachother in a ten gallon? Maybe a honey gourami?

In my experience housing dwarf gouramis together is not a problem. Larger Gouramis ( i.e. Blue Gouramis) can be territorial. For basic info, the following link should help.

I wouldn't, I tried it, and had to separate them because one was a SUPER bully to the other.

I have a Blue Gourami and a Neon Gourami with 2 large Angel's and 2 Alge eaters and then all do fine together. Yes my blue does get territorial but they seem to be all fine together. I have a 30 gallon tank and I am looking for more colorful fish. Does anyone have any idea what I can put in there with the fish that I have now?

I wouldn't try it in a 10 gal. Maybe in a 30 or larger. It is in their nature for the males to fight. If you have to try it, I would buy from somewhere that will let you bring the fish back if it doesn't work out.

try another fish if you can...

Okay, that's what I thought. Thanks guys!

A Honey Gourami will get larger than a dwarf so in a ten gallon there may be territory issues. I have two dwarfs in my 30 gallon, gouramies like to chase each other but if it is over territory you'll know. I would get another male dwarf for a 10 gallon, a female drwarf is also an option.
Hope this helped.

IMHO a dwarf gourami is really already pushing it as far as if it's appropriate for a tank that small...I would not add two. I would only keep one in a 10 gal with a minimum of other tank mates so it has plenty of room. Even a dwarf is a pretty large fish for a 10 gal tank

I agree. A 20 gal is really the smallest tank I'd put a dwarf gourami in.
