Can I keep 2 Pearl Gourami with two large female Three Spot Gouramis which are almost fully grown? My tank is a 56 UK gallon tank (67.2 US gallon). It is very well planted in the sides and back with plenty of swimminh space in the middle, it also is very well planted with plants closw to the substrate. I also have caves in my tank.

Yes, you can put them together, but the 3 Spot are more aggressive than the Pearl.

It can be done but I would not as the three spot can be rather aggressive incomparison to the Pearl

If you still want the blue colour have a look at the Opaline Gourami slightly smaller but very passive.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
