Dwarf gourami in a molly/platty tank

[Ljk09]

I have a 55g community tank. As of now it inhabits mollies, platys, a rubber lip pleco and some kuhli loaches. My question is about a dwarf gourami. I've read they are 'peaceful' fish but I've always read they can get aggressive with their own species. Even with fish not of their own species. Has anyone had Ny experience with them in a community tank?

I had one in a community tank and he was pretty docile. He got a little aggressive during feeding time, but so did the mollies so I wasn't to concerned about it,

I have two dwarf gouramis in with my Platys. One is aggressive and one isn't. It's mostly towards the other gourami but sometimes during feeding the aggressive one does chase off my Platys. However I haven't seen any damage done, no nipped fins or anything but he does give the other a hard time. I love them though! Such pretty and fun fish to watch.b
