Most commonly kept Gourami are actually quite social and should be kept in groups of their own kind. Often the case with Trichopodus Trichopterus is they are kept in too few a number and/or in a aquarium far too small for them.

The tank is big enough and I would get 7 or 8 in total. They are fantastic fish to keep in large groups, one of my favourite and I promise you won't be disappointed. I wouldn't be overly concerned with the bioload of the tank also for your future stocking ;)

I agree with Colin here as a good reason not to do so. I've also had issues in the past of them harassing each other. Though this was with males, one attacked the Guppies and the second one was nipped at by the Guppies. Neither situation was good(in a 33 gallon). While females are usually...

I definitely agree here. When comparing them to other species within the genus, they top the list in terms of aggression.

Three Spots can be undoubtedly aggressive fish, though I find they are often kept in not so ideal conditions, too small of a tank, too few in number etc... which would lead to issues with a lot of different species when kept like this. I suppose their size plays a part in how much damage they...

Hoi DD, great to see you here too(It's helpful when people use the same names eh?). I'll say no ones knowledge is undoubtable and there's still a lot I still get wrong when it comes to biology(and plenty of other things). But thank you none the less 😁

Sorry but me and my partner, as well as people we know (as in breeders or people who have bred them)have had plenty were the fins are indistinguishable. This also isn't just my opinion, sorry for phrasing it that way ;)

Have to disagree, this is quite a consistent way of sexing at least the majority of sold Honeys. Not disagreeing that there are potentially strains that this doesn't work with but they seem to be few. I disagree with this as being a more accurate way, the fins have little difference. I would...

Hi, the best and easiest way to sex Honey's is by the colour of the trim on the dorsal and anal fins. Males have yellow and females have orange. A big group is best ;)

Having had over 20 in the past 4 years I'm done with them they frustrate me to no end. Not all died to an illness, some were lost keeping them as a group(1 male 3 females) but most died after a few months appearing to be healthy until they weren't. 100% this could be and likely is a factor...

There's still good odds that they are weak genetically. The issue with Dwarfs comes several fold, the biggest being that they are overbred. They generally have a weaker immune system, so it would depend on where the breeder originally got their stock in the first place. What is referred to as...

As far as I know it does but I really don't know the details of how it works.

I'm not sure what information this forum receives from it's users but if it gets information such as IP address etc.. then it falls under the rules set by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Which means I believe you need to be over 13 to be a member on forums. In that sense...

Pretty sure this already exists by American law(I think), though it is under 13. Some fish refuse to eat anything but this. Personally not against the practice though I doubt I would do it myself. Most Gourami should be kept in large groups. They are social fish not all that different from...

Beautiful fish, I believe this is actually a Thick Lipped Gourami(Trichogaster Labiosa). Wonderful to see a wild coloured fish like this. I hope any treatment goes well!
