Gourami Grudge Match

[Vyper]

Hi Guys,

I've got 7 gouramis in a 50g tank, and there constantly chasing each other, it seems to get worse when the temp gets to about 82F which it seems to do when all 4 of my lights are on. Is this normal for gouramis are they naturally agressive ?. They only seem to chase each other and leave the smaller tetras alone.

My gouramis do the same, the addition of some females will distract them from eachother, otherwise if they are not doing any damage to eachother they should be fine.

yeah male gouramis can be aggresive, what kind are they? With that many i wouldnt be to worried ( as long as there dwarfs ). There are so many that none of them can specifically pick on one. Sorta like cichlids!
