Hello all,
I recently picked up a female Sunset Honey Gourami after reading honeys can be kept in pairs. The male I have now is probably about a year old. The female much younger. Since putting her in the tank, he often chases her if she comes too close to him. He is also aggressive during feeding and actively tries to keep her away from the food. My tank is a 20g high and currently stocked with 10 Neon tetras, the 2 honey Gouramis, and 3 otocinclus cats. The question: do I take her back to the store OR do I get 1 or 2 more females? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
