Giant gourami getting picked on

[Auratus]

My paradise fish is starting to pick on my giant gourami. They hung out together for a while but now the paradise is almost always chasing and nipping at the giant. Do I have room in any of my tanks to move him?

Click on my name to see the fish list.

I had a feeling this might happen... Paradise fish can be notorious for being aggressive to their tankmates, especially gouramis. I'd love to help ya, but there isn't a list of your tanks in your profile... it says to look in your sig. Might want to change that. Also, do you want the move the paradise or the giant?

Can't believe that you have a basset named Baxter - I fostered one with that name last year for 2 months.

Oops.. thought you meant your name as in your forum name. I don't see the image of your flaming name - tis just a red x.

Ah stupid non showing up flaming name ahhhh!!!

Ok... the list is back... I would like to move the giant if at all possible. But I know I don't have any room left in my 18 and my 29 is full of babies!

I'd say move him to the 18 - it might be pushing it a bit, but it's certainly better than getting him stressed out, and should be fine if you keep on top of water changes and such. Good luck!

He's really timid. Do you think the danios and tetras will bother him? I don't want them chasning him around too. There isn't really any place for him to hide.
