Is The Female Bullying?

[RossC]

Hi, recently my male dwarf gourami seems a little nervous around the female and I was unsure why but I recorded a feeding and saw the female chasing the male. I am unsure whether this is mating or bullying behavior. Here's the video I took Dwarf Gourami feeding time

That's a 3 spot gourami, and that's probably why he is chasing the male gourami

Is it compatible? The woman at the LFS said they'd be fine together

I don't think so....

That's not good news looks like i'll be returning it. I didn't read up on them before hand so I just trusted the LFS staff knowledge. Wont make that mistake again. I just read they grow pretty big too, much to big for my 95L

Please do not keep Three Spot, Gold, Opaline, or Blue Gouramis with Dwarf Gouramis. You're lucky your Dwarf isn't in worse shape, with tattered fins & color loss due to stress.

Never trust what the fish store says, do your own research.

Problem fixed, three-spot return and swapped for some corries, peace has been restored

Good to know. That it's going better
