insane lace gourami

[nickh]

Hi all,
has anyone ever had a lace gourami suddenly start to attack all the fish in the tank if they cross his path?? Just arrived home to find guppies with ripped fins, angels looking extremely harrassed and general chaos in the tank. The gourami in question is in full breeding colours, but i had no idead they would be so monstrous. Anyone have a clue whats best to do? Incidently there is a female lace gourami in with him but he seems disinterested in her.

Every Gourami I have Ever tried to keep in my community tanks were monsters. I don't keep them anymore because I find them far too hostile. THey would ram my fish, literally killing them right before my eyes. I am sure there are people out there who have had better luck with Gouramis, but I personally don't bother with them anymore.
