My Female Dwarf Gourami Aggressive...

[spooky~electro]

Hello, I'm new to the fish world Well anyways...

I have a 30 gallon tank with 2 x 2inch Angelfishies (1 marble, 1 gold), and 2 dwarf gouramis (1 male, 1 female)...
all peaceful together apart from the female gourami who seriously doesn't like the gold angel! Attacks my Angie
whenever within a 2 inch radius.

Any clues? Anything would be greatly appreciated

Also, after the female gourami attacks Angie the male gourami then tends to attack her
Thought I should mention that

the male gourami then tends to attack her

Thats terroritorialy normal though?

We might need another female
Apparently if the females not interested in the male he'll attack her to death
But they get on ok atm don't they?

Thats kind of a mystery to me, I've heard of Angels attacking gouramis but rarely the other way around?

What species of Gourami was it? Are you sure its the female?

Problem is that they are both mid - top level fish, neither fish is really regarded as really aggressive fish, so I'm not really sure, if I were you I would take the trouble fish back and maybe purchase two females for the male, that way the standards are met.

Could just have a aggressive fish with a baaaaaad personaility?
