Dwarf Gourami Question

[Hunter2001]

I currently have one Dwarf Gourami along with some other species in my 29 Gallon.

Are Dwarf Gouramis happy and content by themselves, or should I add another?

My current Gouramis is a male Dwarf Honey.

Thanks for your thoughts.

You might want to add a female or two depending on your current stocking situation. Their spawning behavior makes for an interesting spectacle. Acrobatic :eek: and :eek: aggressive.

Aside from that they don't especially seek out the company of similar fish. They aren't schoolers or shoalers and even as a pair they may not interact all that much. I keep a pair of pearls and have my eye on a trio of honeys. I think of them as pairs, but they aren't one of the "should-keep-at-least-five" types of fish. He's probably quite content as is…

I have found it very difficult to find female dwarf gouramis. They are bred in such a way as to only produce malie (using hormones I believe).
