Dwarf Gouramis With Apisto Cichlids?

[myster619]

I have two pairs of Apistos and a few guppies in a 20 gallon tank. I am thinking of adding more color to the tank. I am thinking of getting a powder blue gourami pair. From what i have read, some people here say dwarves are peaceful and others say they are very aggressive. The dwarves are larger than apistos, so should get them or not? Will they work out?

Hi Iv,e had 3 apistos ,[agazizzi] 1 male 2 female sharing a 90ltr tank with a pair of sparkling gouramis for 12 months never had a problem ,but the male agi is 3 times the size of the gouramis so they dont pick a fight with him what sort of agi,s you got?

I have a pair of Orange Cockatoos and Agasizzi Fire Reds each. The Cockatoo male is 4 cm max. The agassizi male is big, around 7-8 cms.

I would not put two types of territorial fish into such a small aquarium.
