Sparkling Gouramis

[Shelster]

Wanted to get a few for my 54 litre.

sparkling Gouramis would that be a case of one male, two females? What would be the best ratio and how do you tell them apart?

Was thinking of green neons and chilli rasbora s as tank mates, alongside Pygmy corydoras.

Didnt want to come home with males as only a small tank but don't know how to sex them,

Thanks

male is ment to have a longer dorsal fin. i would just get a group of 5 if you cant sex them

Ok, wasnt sure if any obvious colour differentiation. IF I ended up with more than one male, hopefully they will have enough space in a planted 2 foot long by 1x1 to escape from each other.

Thanks for your reply

upping numbers gives a better chance of a decent mix of sexes. once conditioned males are more colurful.
