Pearl Gourami Quesitons

[jsmeester]

i have a 75 gal tank with...
10 cories
guppies
platties
3 albino bristle nose plecos
7 gold tetras
7 cardinal tetras
6 albino cherry barbs
2 male dwarf goruamis
and 3 cherry shrimp.

i would love to add between 2-4 pearl gouramis!

will they get along with my small fish and shrimp and my goruamis?

can i get males and females or should i jsut get females?

out of my options which should i get?...
1. 2 females 1 male
2. 2 females
3. 1 female 1 male
4. 1 female
5. 1 male
6. 3 females 1 male
7. 3 females
8. 2-3 males
9. 4 females

which of those do you think would be the best and make the gouramis happy?

if i got males and females, woudl they breed and fi they did would they get agressive to my other fish?

It is best to not mix gourami species and your tank sounds pretty highly stocked as it is.

I wouldn't recommend Pearls with Dwarfs either but they could work according to some sites. I believe that's because of the Pearl's relatively docile, peaceful nature. As far as how many & male or female, I'd go with no more than 2 or 3 tops given the amount of fish in your tank already. Probably better off with 2 females. If you got a male a a female the male will more than likely chase the female relentlessly. That's not good for her or the rest of the community.
