Behaviour

[AllenLeicester]

I'm currently going through a fishless cycle and now just trying to fin information on all fish to see what i should put in my tank first, just wondered what you lot thought about putting Gouramis into a new community tank? Also what are the best behaved Gouramis?

I have a 20 (UK) Gallon tank , With heavy real plantation

Without a doubt colisa labiosa, thick lipped gourami, they get priced under all sorts of names typically peach gourami;

Peaceful even amongst themselves, quite an easy fish to keep, they'd love the plantation, and won't limit your tankmates agreat deal.
Unfussy and entertaining fish.

Pearls are some of the least agressive among the gouramis, and definitively be recommended. Not as many colours as other gourami types, but full of caracter, and with the right light, they deserve the name 'pearl'!

Ive got a pearl and an opaline in a community, the opaline hassles the pearl a bit
but they both leave everything else alone.

I have a orange dwarf gourami in a community and it never bothers anyone. He just swims around happy all the time. I also have a blue dwarf gourami in a ten community as well and he never bothers anyone either.
