	2 Male Dwarf Gourami's?
AngelZoo Fish Addict Posts: 771 Kudos: 501 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-Dec-2003	Is it possible to have 2 male dwarf gourami's of different colour variations/species in the same tank? I can't find female gourami's anywhere. Otherwise, what smaller fish are compatible to live with gourami's.

Dwarf gouramis tend to be more peaceful than other gouramis, such as blues. What size tank are you planning to put them in? I'm not surprised that you can't find a female. They can be very tough to find. Stores usually don't sell them, because their colors are not as bright as the males'. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

He's in a 10G at work so I'm not here to amuse him on the weekends or over vacations. I'm hoping eventually to convince my boss to let us have something like a 55G here =D I have a few plants in there, but nothing magor. If I wanted to add another male of a different colour, would I have to heavily plant this tank?

IME, dwarves can exhibit some aggression towards others and each other, you might be be luckier than I. Even if you weren't, you're providing a lot of space for both to have their own territories.
