Aggressive Three Spot Gouramis

[a1wonder]

Resently my Three Spot has been casing my poor little cosby gouramis. They are both females and the cosby is hidding behind the log alot. They are roughly the same size I was thinking about getting more gouramis to balance out the tank a bit (within a few weeks) it's funny because she doesn't go after my silver dollars or mollie although her and the pleco had a go at it once, needless to say pleco won There doesn't appear to be any fin nipping just casing. Does anyone have any suggestion?

I recommend that you add a couple of more. Keep in mind that some aggression is normal, but if one is getting bullied a lot, adding more will help. Maybe try a different gourami species like the pearl or moonlight....give you some more variety.

Make sure that whenever you get any type of gouramis you always want to try and get some of each sex just to even things out. I have a 55 and the only female i had died and only have males. Sometimes they chase each other but nothing serious.
