Kribensis Cichlid and Dwarf Gourami - Compatibility Help Needed

[robin623]

29 Gallon Planted Freshwater Community Tank.

I lost 3 Neons and a bolivian ram to Camallanus. I currently have the following fish in the tank.

8 Neon Tetras
4bronze cory

1 Male Sailfin Lyretail Molly
1 Female kribensis Cichlid

I want to get the following fish:
7-8 Neon Tetras
2 bronze cory
1 Male dwarf gourami (who will be quarantined for 6-8 weeks in a 10 gallon first)

I need some feedback on the compatibility of the kribensis and the Gourami. The kribensis seems to be fine right now. In the end if they don't get along one could be moved into the 20.

Any suggestions? Inputs? Ideas? Better stocking suggestions?

I also have a 20 gallon community tank with 1 male molly, 1 bristlenose and 7 baby platys, a 10 gallon tank with 20 baby platys, 1 female molly and 1 baby female molly (the two mollies and 3 platys will go in the 20. i might add 1 or 2 platys to the 29 later on. the rest will be donated), a 5 gallon betta tank.

Kribensis are usually pretty docile unless they are breeding, that is the only time mine get nasty, and then only if a fish gets too close to the cave she has her eggs/babies in. Since you only have the one, she should be fine. Plus, they tend to be bottom dwellers and gouramis tend to be surface dwellers. I've never had a gourami, so I cant say whether or not he would work with her. I dont have experience with their brand of naughtiness. They should work out, however every fish is different, so always have a backup plan.

I'd say adding that many more neons might be pushing it...but I agree with vwill, I don't see any glaring issues with compatibility.

My dwarf gourami is always up and down my tank he don't just stay up top all the time. Sometimes it's like someone gave a kid a soda and he can't stay in one place.
