Will a male and female pearl gourami be comfortable in a 29 gallon aquarium? They would be housed with 10 harlequin Rasboras and some smaller species of Asian loach. This tank will be Asian themed with Asian plants. Any suggestions for loaches? How bout the gouramis?

Thanks!
 
It may or may not work. It will all boil down to the personality of each fish especially as they mature. Pearls is the best choice for trying this IMO. As for loaches I would suggest staying with something smaller such as Kuhli's in a group of 6. You could do 3 yo-yo loaches but IMO they would get cramped as they grow. My Yo-yo loaches are very active.
 
Thanks! I have read a lot of mixed opinions on what size tank 2 pearls should have! I actually have a male right now and he just hangs out, minding his own business!

Thanks for responding!
