Pearl Gourami questions

[Sly_Fra]

Hi folks,

2 quick one:

1- Can I keep a couple of Pearl Gourami in a well planted 33Gal, or it is too small for them?
2- Will they eat Tetra Neons...?

Thanks

They will be fine in the 33. I have a trio in my gourami tank with smaller rasbora's with no issues.

Pearls are a lot more peaceful than other gouramis. They'll do well in a 33g as long as there's plenty of plants. They won't bother any other fish you have in there. You might see some chasing going on every now and then, but it's nothing. I have one in my 55g tank right now and he got along great with my blue gourami until my blue gourami starting chasing my juvi severums..I got rid of the blue gourami.

It's settled then, thanks
