Dwarf Gouramis

[redwing191]

i have approx. 1 3/4 inch dwarf gourami, while visiting my LFS i saw what they had labled as a neon blue dwarf gourami which i know is just a variation of Colisa Lalia, i also saw a honey gourami and dwarf gourami of a yellowish color (its not a gold gourami). and i was wondering if i could mix my dwarf gourami with the neon blue, honey, and other dwarf gourami, i know they are peaceful but im not sure how they act towards eachother.

I think you should be fine with other types. They can be a little rough towards each other but nothing to really about it. I would just be careful not to add gouramies that will get alot bigger than the dwarfs.

yes i agree stick with variations to the dwarf gourami, and try not to put all males in there if you can. Just make sure what your putting in there isnt a variation of the three spot gourami, because i have a 5 inch gold gourami and it killed my two dwarf gouramis that i had had for years:(

I had two honeys and a "powder blue" dwarf (which I think is probably like your neon blue) that got along fine. When the blue dwarf had an accident I replaced it with another that didn't really tolerate the honeys. He didn't hunt them down by any means, just went at them when nearby. Good luck.

yes they will do fine, my neighbor has every type of gouramis that he could find and they all do perfectly fine together
