I have 2 Sterbai Cories left of 5...my Pearl Gourami terrorizes them, and I'm pretty sure he was the cause of death of the other 3. I don't have another tank to place them in, and the LFS will not take them back.
So I'm stuck with them. He constantly chases them. Pearls are normally peaceful...and I've never heard of Gourami vs. Cory aggression. Could it be because the Sterbai Cories have a pattern of tight spots similar to those of the Pearl Gourami? Would he be equally as aggressive to a solid-colored Cory like, say, a panda or albino cory?
I'm frustrated, and I love cories, so I would really like to keep a school in my tank. Maybe I'll try a smalls chool of Pandas to see how the gourami responds...
