Hi there,
I have a 29 gallon with a Penguin 330 filter and the fish I have in it are:
1 Bristlenose pleco (2inch)
1 Opaline gourami (male 3.5inch)
1 Gold gourami (female 2.5inch)
2 Albino cories
2 Panda cories
5 Male guppies
2 Singapore wood shrimp

Now the reason why I ask whether I have enough space is because I was contemplating adding another female gourami. Now I was thinking of doing this because the male gourami has been picking on the female and I wanted another gourami so that I could distribute the bullying.

OR

Can someone give me a soltution to lessen the bullying?

Thanks.:rolleyes:

IMO, I would take the male back and trade it in for a female. Females will still bicker but there shouldn't be the "I'm going to kill you" chase around the tank.

I wouldn't worry about your amount of stock. You are over-filtered the way it is so as long as you don't neglect the water changes, you can probably add several more fish and be just fine. Lessen the bullying? get something other than gourami's. Kyle
