My Gourami Collection.

[Stalker]

I am a new member here and I am a beginner fish keeper. I started to keep fish about 2 months ago and I still need to learn a lot .

I need some help to get the chaos sorted in my tank.
I've currently got a 310 litre (82 gallons US) tank and I've got the following fish in the tank.
2 x Pearl gouramies
2 x Golden gouramies
2 x REd dwarf gouramies
2 x Gosby gouramies
1 x Golden leopard pleco
1 x Common pleco
1 x Platty
2 x Cherry barbs
3 x Neons (use to be 14 but most got eaten by the angels)
4 x Angels

I think this is a disaster to happen between the spesies.

Too many gourami species in one tank. Stick with 1 type of gourami if you want to keep males and females together. Make sure you have only 1 male -2 female ratio. Re-home the neons. Up your cherry barbs to 6 or more. 2 males, 4 females. If you are wanting to keep the angels, having gourami at all could be a territory issue because of the size they will be growing. That's just my opinion of coarse. If you want neons or cardinals, re-home the angels.

I would mainly keep an eye on the Gold and Cosby (Opaline) Gouramis. They are the same species and get about five inches long. The males especially can get aggressive towards each other and other species as well.

Excellent advice! I would add that most local fish stores, especially the all around pet stores, only seem to have male Gouramis since they're so much more colorful. To add to that usually the Gouramis they have are too small to tell whether they're male of female, so do your research & be prepared to bring any back that act too aggressively toward your other fish. From my experience, males are far more aggressive & teritorial than the females. The males can be aggressive enough to go after other species, I haven't seen that yet with the females. All Gouramis have their own personalities too, more so than most other fish.
