The gouramis in my big tank (29 gal curvefront, 7 medium-sized gouramis) have been freaking out for no apparent reason lately. It seems to happen mostly when I come home after being gone a few hours, 2 or 3 at a time try to jump out of the tank, and obviously, just hit the glass lid. I'm not an expert at guessing fish gender, but I think I only have 2 females in the tank, since they have shorter fins/wider bodies, etc. I would write all this odd behavior off to territorial stuff if the one who seems to be instigating the spazzing wasn't one of the females.
Also, another thing worth mentioning is that most of my gouramis are different, pearls, opalines, golds, and blues. I also have 3 tiny lemon tetras that always keep to themselves in the back. Any ideas? Anything I could do to calm them down would definetly put my mind at ease.
