60 Litre

[vpx]

could i put a dwarf gourami in a 60 litre ?
if so, what are good tank mates ?

Yes, you could. Good tank mates would be any of the smaller rasboras, pygmy corydoras (but only if you have a sand substrate), or otocinclus

Avoid tetras (as they can be too boisterous and nippy), barbs (except cherry barbs; all the others are either too large or nippy), bettas (might mistake your gourami for another betta) and guppies (again, too nippy for the gourami).

My dwarf is in with both tetras and guppies (and rasboras and danios), and there is no nipping of any kind towards (or from) the gourami.

Ah well, that's terrific! In fishkeeping there's always someone to contradict you We have to remember that all fish have their indivdual characters and all our tanks are different.

Haha, didn't mean to be so contradictory, just adding another view!
