Already have a red coral dwarf gouramie that came out of QT this past week after a month along with 2 bolivian rams and 3 albino cories all went into 36g and are doing well. Now these fish in pics below are in QT for a month all doing well so far.

Columbian tetras are my favorite, I have a shoal of twelve or so. Good luck with the gouramis.

never quarentined anything myself. I know its a good theory, but I don't have an extra aquarium for it, and don't feel like buying one.
I just throw any new fish right in the tank, and if anything does develop, I just medicate the entire tank.
Havn't had any issues yet. See sig for everything thats gotten thrown in.
Nice gourami's though!
If not for my Leopard Ctenopoma (a cousin to the gourami), I would still have gourami's in the tank, but they will not get along together.
Red Coral Dwarf Gouramies? Never heard of that type. I'm used to seeing the dwarf, honey or Red gourami. Is this a newer type of gourami? Is there a difference between the Dwarf gourami and the Red Coral Dwarf one or are they both the same?

I've recently been looking into dwarf gourami, and the LFS has what they call Royal Red Dwarfs, which look a lot like that one, except the red is insanely deep bright red. Those look a little more orange. All in all, I think there a lot of new color morphs hitting the market recently... but they're all fairly similar fish.
