I've had a single male dwarf gourami for 2 weeks now, and he's settling in ok - feeding well, looking healthy.
It's a densely planted 15g with a shoal of harlequin rasboras and a shoal of kuhli loaches.
Most of the time his behaviour is normal, cruising around, pecking at things (especially attempting and failing to catch my cherry shrimp!)
However, quite often he swims up and down the length of the tank, swimming with his face pressed against the glass as if trying to get out, or even as if he thinks his reflection is another fish. He'll do this for about 10 min then relax again.
Is this normal behaviour? Is he stressed? Would a female help?
Water stats are all normal.
