Hi! I have a 20 gallon [high] tank. It's cycling right now.
I'm going to add...
5 male Guppies
4 Julii Cories
6 Neon Tetra
and I'd like to add a male Dwarf Gourami to that setup. According to AqAdvisor.com, my tank will then be 100% stocked. It's at its max, but at least not overstocked.
Anyway, my two questions are...
1. Will the Dwarf Gourami be aggressive toward the other fish in my tank?
2. He will be okay being the only Dwarf Gourami in the tank, right? I heard 2 males will fight, but enjoy being in a group of 4 or so. Is being the only of its kind in the tank bad?
As for the concern of #1, I am going to try to choose a docile looking one at the store. I heard it's a hit or a miss when it comes to temperament in DG's. (Some aggressive others timid) Also, I'll be adding the DG last so perhaps he won't establish territory.
Thanks!!!
