Gourami Pair

Hi,
I have 2 Dwarf Gourami's (male and female) and they hav recently been bullying fish. They have bullied my Angel Fish and ate one of my catfish. What is with them, are they just aggresive?

Hey, what size is the tank that they are in and what tankmates do they have?
would i be right in saying that is predominantly the male that is showing signs of aggression?
Also it would be nearly impossible for a dwarf gourami to eat any type of catfish

Actually the Female is causing the most trouble and the Catfish is a young Sucker catfish Algae eater (forgot name).

Dwarfs can be quite territorial at times, try removing them, rearranging the tank and then doing a small 10% water change. before putting them back in the tank, the new look and 'taste' of the tank should calm them down.

Will do, thanks for helping

Unless you saw the catfish in his mouth, there's a chance he either died or could be hiding.

any fish will eat a dead fish, but few community fish will eat other live fish,
