[xxmoorishmanxx]

My Gf asked me to post this and i said i would so here it goes.... would it be possible to keep 1-2 dawrf gourmais in a 10 gallon tank with 2 corys and 1 otto, how hardy are they and is a 10 enough room thank you,

I've found dwarf gourami to be fairly hardy, although they tend to pick on each other sometimes.

 

[xxmoorishmanxx]

would they be ok in a ten gallon?

One would be fine, moorish. Two might be pushing it, IMO. They don't get huge, but I think with one Dwarf and a small schooling fish, you would be lookin' really good.

 

[xxmoorishmanxx]

she has no schoolong fish

 

[lyquidphyre]

the dwarf gouramis ive had always picked on one another.

Like Devilishturtle said maybe a dwarf gourami and a small group of schooling fish

Or a pair of dwarfs..one male, one female.

It's a situation by situation kind of thing. You could fit 2 dwarfs in a 10 - in one situation they might fight so much you would have to bring one back, in another, they would be fine.

If you go for it, I suggest either a male and female or 2 females.

i agree ... need to have at least the 1:1 ratio. I kept 2 dwarf gourami in a previous 10 gallon tank of mine and they were fine after an initial day of territory games.
