I got two dwarf gouramis a couple of days back, they're with 4 guppies and 4 swords in my 30g tank. At first they were a bit shy and hid in the three (fake) plants i have in my aquarium. Now one of them is swimming around and its fine, but the other one still stays there about 99% of the time. I'm new to gouramis so i know very little about them. I was thinking of changing the second gourami, but i can't do that before monday.

Can anyone tell me something about dwarf gouramis' behaviour? Is this normal?

Thanks.

It may be that the other is a bit more shy and needs more time to come out.

Or, the other fish (most likely the other gourami) could be picking on him. Watch your tank closely to see if you can see any agression coming from the other gourami. They can get pretty nasty with each other.
