Two males or two females?

[AquariumWorld]

Hi, I'm still fishing for lots of advice here so if anyone could help, that would be great

I was thinking about getting two Dwarf Gouramis along with Tetras to go in my tank which I'll be getting in a few months time. So, focusing on the Gouramis here, I only want two. If I have to get three then by all means I'll get them. But if I got two, would I get two males or two females?

I understand that the males may be aggressive with one another, but what should I get?

What size tank ?

 

[AquariumWorld]

68 litres. H-43.5cm x W-36cm x L-56cm

I would only add 1 gourami. The females are not as colorful as males anyway and quite a few pet stores only stock males. As you already mentioned 2 males probably won't get along well.

1 dwarf gourami

1 school of either neons, harlequin rasboras or celestial pearl danio

some ghost shrimp and a snail or a school of small cories (pygmy or panda)

1 male gourami then? I guess it wouldn't have any problems in the tank if they're were no other gouramis.

Thanks for your help

The males are the pretty ones lol. Which color variant are you thinking to get?

Yeah they are, I guess I'll just have to see which types they have when I take another visit to the store haha.

Honey gourami would be my recommendation.
