	Single Pearl or Dwarf Gourmi
Inkling Fish Addict Posts: 689 Kudos: 498 Votes: 11 Registered: 07-Dec-2005	What are the min. tank requirements for a pearl or dwarf gourmi? Would they get a long with a betta or is it not worth the risK? Inky

As for getting along with a betta its worth a try, but at the first sign of a gill flare you should remove the betta.

illustrae Fish Addict Posts: 820 Kudos: 876 Registered: 04-May-2005	I've kept a single Pearl gourami in a 10 gal. for about 6 weeks before (it was a quarrantine tank during a major overhaul of my planted tank). He wasn't happy and looked terribly cramped, and I couldn't keep ANYTHING with him at all. He even chased the ottos. Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

Inkling Fish Addict Posts: 689 Kudos: 498 Votes: 11 Registered: 07-Dec-2005	I decided not to get one, since I don't want to risk quarilling between the two fish. Instead, I got some small rasaboras, and they are getting along great with Klaus! Inky
