I would also suggest maybe adding 1 more neon tetra. Is your dwarf gourami a male or female? If it is male, make sure you get a female. If it is female, You can get another female or male. (You don't want 2 males as they will be aggressive)

juwel-180 Enthusiast Posts: 291 Kudos: 212 Votes: 17 Registered: 07-Dec-2005	yes the tank is 3 years old and is well planted with real plants. the dwarf gourami i have at the moment is a female hence the reason why i want one male. And i did not think that fish that samll as in a neon tetra can travel on there own

labrakitty Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004	The neon tetra can travel in teh same bag as teh male dwarf gourami. The time it takes you to get back from you LFS isn't going to harm it. It can see the other neon tetras when it is floating in a bag.
