I recently put two male Dwarf Gourami in my tank and this may have been a mistake as one has proved to be dominant and endlessly chases the other around the tank. The dominant one has also built a bubble nest and simply will not allow the other near any part of the top of the tank. In fairness both are eating well as the other stands up for himself at feeding times. My question is should I take one out? (I know no damage is being done physically as they are not great fin nippers)
 
My gourami constantly does that to a silver mollie in my tank, but my mollie has come to no harm and I have had the gourami for months now.
He will probably be ok.
 
Yes thanks for that. Ive added some plants and it seems to have helped in just creating more hiding spaces.
 
if you can add some females (at least 2) as the dominant male will bother more fish less in stead of one fish alot
