Gouramis

I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, but oh well.

I have a 12 gallon tank with a guppy and a molly in it (in the past week I've lost about 3 fish, and today I'm going to get more) and I don't know much about gouramis but are there any gouramis that would go with a few gups and mollies in a 12 gallon tank?

Dwarf and Honey Gouramis are the only ones recommended for smaller tanks like that. Others get bigger, and need more room.

Hi Aqua_Princes64

It depends on the mollies. If they need salt in the water, then gouramis cannot be added to the tank.

Most mollies do need salt, but some pet shops have ones that do not. If yours do well without salt then one dwarf gourami would fit. Your tank is not large enough to fit any more comfortably.

More important is to figure out why you lost so many fish and to correct the problem before adding more. What do you think happened?

I know this sounds crazy but I think my females bullied them to death. All the fish that died were males. Just a hypothesis (ew, big word)
