Gourami Question

Dwarf gourami tend to be more agressive that regular gourami. Just like everyone else was stating. I would move them because it may seem like everything is ok one minute, but you'll find some stressed out fish the next or maybe even find them dead. That's just my opinion though.
What's a 'regular' gourami? :rofl:
They range in size from a few inches, to two feet. Their colors can be anywhere from brown with yellow stripes to blue/purple with bright red fins.
Jenna_san, don't give up on the dwarf yet. Once your plants grow out more, the other fish will be able to avoid the gourami.
Plus, it's probably just establishing dominance in the community and showing the new fish nobody messes with 'his' tank.
If it doesn't leave them alone after a couple days, then maybe you should take him back and try one of the 'honey dwarf gouramis' we saw at sunset aquarium.
They were the super tiny yellow and red ones. Or maybe we can find you one of these : Sparkling Gourami

Extinct? Since when?
As everyone else said, let him calm down for a day with the tank lights off, and if you can, rearrange your tank decor.
Also, add 4 more Kuhli Loaches. They like to be in groups of at least 6.

mostly so you know is because people put hormones in their food making the females in the group males so they are more attractive to sell. Thats why some gouramis die very fast in tanks
