If it's the regular, long-finned B. splendens, then definitely the gourami. But there are many other Betta species that are way better than dwarf gouramis (for example, Betta macrostoma). I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

kitten Fish Guru Meow? Posts: 2266 Kudos: 2194 Votes: 19 Registered: 18-Nov-2003	Well, anyone who knows me to any degree knows that I love bettas of all types and colors. I DO like gouramis to an extent, but a betta would win over a dwarf gourami any day. In some cases, like my female betta community, obviously, I couldn't have a male betta, and so might put in a gourami of some sort as centerpiece... if I had the room. And personally, I'd take pretty much any type of gourami over dwarfs... just something about the others I like more. shrugs ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~
