got 2 chocolate gouramis from the LFS about 10 months ago - next night came home from work and one was bold and beautiful - the other was faded and hiding at the bottom of the tank. Sat and watched carefully and every time the faded one moved the other would attack! Moved the faded one to one of my guppy tanks as s/he really was not looking great. Later that night he was swimming with more confidence and eating and by morning no problems.
On quite a few occasions I have tried to put them back into the same tank - not going to happen. All my tanks are well planted. They each live in their separate residences feasting on my baby guppies!!!! happy to live with guppies and cories but unable to tolerate any other bigger bodied fish e.g. baby keyholes, angels
has anyone else had problems with these fish being so bolshy. How do you tell what sex they are? Am reluctant to take them back to the LFS as they only got 4 of these fish in and I took 2 - the others died at the LFS - lingered at the shop for a few weeks and seemed to fade away
All of the books I had read said that these were peaceful community fish - picky about their water conditions but 'peaceful'
