LEE_WILMOT_706 Enthusiast Posts: 243 Kudos: 201 Votes: 3 Registered: 27-Jun-2004	Can I put my single danio in with my gourami, and corys ? I did have more danios, but because I was a begginner the rest of them died. I had here for about 2 yrs, she was nippy with other fish, I dnt know if she will be with the gourami ? Plz help

I'd be concerned that your gourami would be the target for that, especially since they're both top-dwelling fish. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

If not you could give it a try, but I'd do it at a time when you can really watch the tank in case you have to remove the danio. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
