Hi guys,
Just a quick poll from the member base, should I stay away from Dwarf Gouramis or at least keep them in their own tank? I recently acquired 2 pairs of healthy looking Gourami 2x FR and 2x NB - they are rescues. I've red a lot of horror stories about these getting sick easily, TB breakouts and weird bacteria infections. Are these fish I should be steering clear of or is there a lot of fear for nothing on these guys? Wondering if I should just keep them in the QT tank as permanent residents rather than transfer them to my main tank at some point. Only other Gourami I've ever had was a Leopard Gourami, which I am told are not even really a gourami anyway.
Just wondering what your thoughts were... something I should avoid? Thanks!
