I have a male neon blue dwarf gourami in a 55 gallon tank with
2 Bolivian Rams
6 Guppies
3 Corydora Catfish
6 Neon Tetras
1 Betta Splendens
1 Angelfish
Mickey is pretty much the biggest fish in the tank, and makes sure that everyone knows it. At feeding time, everyone makes room for him. I have a betta that doesn't bother anyone, but my gourami is thrashing everyone. I have lots of plants, both floating and rooted, plus driftwood for everyone to hide in so I guess I assumed that it wasn't much of a problem, until I found my angelfish's fins torn up.
Has anyone else ever experienced this? I put the angel in one of those breeding boxes so that he can sit alone for a while to rest and recover and the **** gourami just keeps on ramming the sides of it and displaying. I'm thinking about returning the gourami.

I guess the stress proved to be too much for him. Definitely returning the gourami.
