from my experience with dwarf gouramis, I have found that:
- females are shy, I was lucky to see the two I had once every few weeks
- three males in a 20g wont work, but after my third died, 2 I had were fine, being different color morphs (a powder blue and a red flame) might have had something to do with it though.
- they are active fish, they need room as well as cover, and are far from shy.
IMHO, the best gouramis ever are golden honey gouramis. they stay less than 2", they are extremly peaceful, they'll eat anything, they can live easily in groups, they're very cute, and they're relitively hard.
