After picking up a pair of gbr i placed them into my planted 25 gallon which tank mates are 4 pepperd cories, 1 otto, 6 black neon tetras, 1 pearl danio, a juvie rubberlip and a dwarf flame gourami who is noticably large then the rams.
However the gourami went after the female endlessly at first, fin nipping, wouldnt this be territorial agression, normal to a degree, correct? However after about two hours the gourami started to go after the male gbr and taking pecks at the mid to gill section of the female, I let this go on for a bit with the net ready. After one such peck (evermore looking like kill shots) it looked like scales might have been damaged, i had enough and removed the gourami, unfortantly this being my only tank, and with no one else wanting it, (or able to keep it) it had to be euthanized. On a light note the rams colour light up almost instantly once the gourami was removed.
Has anyone else had this problem, or was my dwarf gourami possessed. I could only find instances of bgr showing territorial agression towards the gourami, not visa versa, and never to this degree.
