sparkling gourami and a male betta. depends on aggression, but is it worth a try.

for the most part the male is very peaceful with paradice fishes.

You can give them a try, but keep an eye on them & if you see anything odd, just remove one of them.

Oh give it a try, but be ready to yank the boys apart, like a breeding net if need be, or even place the betta in a breeding net to see how they respond to each other

I've heard from a few people that have tried it but they had more than 1 sparkling gourami. It was actually the gouarmis that ganged up and destroyed the bettas fins. I don't know if 1 gourami would consider himself out numbered or still try it.

I'd go no, because my sparklers are absolute demon fin nippers!
