	Male Gold Gourami
coop Enthusiast Posts: 168 Kudos: 60 Votes: 2 Registered: 25-Jan-2006	i have a 150L that has 1 female gold gourami, a pair of kribs, a school of neon tetras, a scool of black widows and a few corys. would a male gold gourami be to agressive and rough to his tankmates? should i just get another female?

If you really want some Bettas, try just a few females. They're generally less aggressive (But sometimes you can get wild girls ) and should get along better with the gourami.
