I Have 2 Questions

[snake007]

Are there any gourami that is aggressive enough to go with convicts?

Also I have a spare 20g, And I want to do a species tank with gouramis, which ones would you recommend?

Prefer paradise fish myself.

Are they similar to gouramis?

Google has the answer!

Aye, quite similar. Nicer looking and apparently easier to breed.

My experience with the anabantoids has been that they are too slow and not aggressive enough to go in with Convicts. That would include the Paradise fish. They just don't move with the speed of a cichlid, and therefore are no match for them in a fight.

I was assuming the gourami was for the 20G. I wouldn't put a convict with a gourami.

Eh? Why? If a gourami is to slow then a betta who, let's face it, is even slower and likes to lay about isn't going to do well.
