I set up a new 29 gallon tank this week, and cycled it using a filter from another established tank. I put some guppies from another of my tanks into it, and yesterday bought 5 neons from my LFS. I decided to risk adding another fish today, since I noticed their gouramis looked healthy. They had a tankful of sunburst and pearl gouramis. I noticed there was a bag floating in the tank today with one pearl gourami in it, and I asked the girl if it was new. She said it had been brought in by another customer who didn't know that gouramis were agresssive; this one was aggressive, and did I want it? LOL, I said no thank you, I did NOT want an aggressive fish. She said gouramis should only be kept with other gouramis, because they are agressive towards other fish, such as neons. (she obviously remembered me from yesterday) I told her I had been researching pearl gouramis, and I thought they were peaceful, but she said no. So I bought a pearl gourami anyway. :silly: And now he's floating in his little baggy in my aquarium, with neons. Please tell me he's not likely to attack them, the LFS was wrong, right?
Oh, and I do know not to add any more fish for awhile, I just couldn't resist since my LFS doesn't usually have many fish, let alone healthy ones!
