Blue And Gold Gouramis

[DKS1982]

Hi peeps!!! I was thinking of getting some Blue and Gold Gouramis as my centrepeice fish in my 50 gallon tank.

I want a trio of them, 1 male and 2 females but was wondering if you could have a male BLUE gourami and 2 female GOLD gouramis??

Would this be ok?

I would get 2 Gold G. Females and 1 Blue G. female, as the males love to bicker and bully other fish IME

Cool.

I cant stop thinking bout how to stock my tank, heres my thoughts so far

I have 8 Zebra Danios that i used to cycle the tank but i am going to return these to the LFS or donate them, so i was thinking

20 Cardinal Tetras
2 Gold Female Gouramis
1 Blue Male Gourami
4 Ottos
1 BN or Clown Plec
2 Kribs (pair) - think they are awesome

How does that sound?? Wopuld it be over stocked or would i have room to add something else in the future??

Would you advise only to get females then???

What about Flag Cichlids???

Well yes, the females always seem to be more peaceful.
If you mean Dwarf Flag Cichlids, they will be ok in your tank. if you mean Festivum Cichlids, then
