View Full Version : Dwarf Gourami in 29g?

I'm establishing a 29g tank with the following...

6 Zebra Danios and 6 Corydoras catfish. I know I'm also going to add a Powder Blue Dwarf Gourami.

The question is... should I add two gouramis or would they fight in a tank of this size? I've read some info that says two DG can co-exist, others say they'll fight without proper cover.

Any guidance in this matter would be helpful. Thanks!

I find these fish to be extremely peaceful, and as well they stay small (about 2"). I see no problem with keeping these fish in this 29-gallon tank. Be sure to provide plenty of vegetation, including floating plants that should cover part of the surface of the water. These gouramis should not be kept with very large or aggressive fish, either... they can act skittish if they feel intimidated.
