EDIT: And no, they aren't going to be breeding together. Last edited by sirbooks at 29-Aug-2005 21:59 And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir!

The female gourami won’t get all bent out of shape from stress. Even if the chasing is more aggressive in nature, the fish will be okay as long as there is room in the tank to get away from the aggressor, and the she (the chasee) has places to hide. If the tank is relatively small and/or there aren’t many hiding places, then yes, you may need to take the pearl out.
