Hey guys, I have 1 pair of Dwarf Gouramis each in 2 20g tanks, and its like Armageddon over here (well was, only 1 pair left). The females absolutely cannot stand the males. It started in one tank first, so I switched the partners around. That did not matter. Both females kept chasing their males around day and night. I have plants, and a few hiding spots, but to no avail. I lost one male due to this aggression last month (I didn't realize it was that bad until his fin was almost completely eaten off, and by then it was too late). Female jumped out the tank a few days later, but I found her in time, so she survived for a short while, before she came down with dropsy (suited her right I think).
So now I have just 1 pair and was wondering what to do about the aggression (already moved some plants and stuff around and waiting to see if it helps). What is wrong with these ladies? Why are they so pissed??
