i've just added 2 tropical shrimp along with a blue female gourami to my 100 litre (how many gallons is that?) tank and the blue gourami seems to be attacking my pearl and red male gouramis. Is this bullying or fighting, even though she is a girl, or is this a mating thing, even though they are different types of gourami?

blue gouramis can be agressive. it all depends on the fish. but since you already have 2 gouramis. there fighting for territory.

21 UK gallons - They wouldn't breed across species and depending upon size, it sounds like aggression to me.
