They have been known to attack smaller fish. They can also be territorial when they get large. They coexist better when they live with others of their kind. A planted tank is a better choice for these fish.

Sexing: The male has a longer and more pointed dorsal fin.
Breeding: Like most fish in this family, the Gold Gouramis are bubble nest builders.
