Hi Everyone,
It's been about ten years since I've kept dwarf gouramies, but as I recall the male was somewhat aggressive with the female. We have a new little male in our 25-gallon, and we adore him. When he is startled, he sticks out his stubby little feelers in opposite directions, as if they have eyeballs attached on the ends and he can see something coming better that way.
Anyhow, we would like to get him a girlfriend. Would it be better to buy 2 females and thus have a trio? My fear is that if one of the females pairs up with him, the other female would have two fishes harassing her.
I could always keep him alone, but the neons are such boring company, and he ignores the albino cories.
Thanks!
