Sparkling Or Croaking ?

[b3cca]

helloo,]
 
well i have a 70 litre tank, tap water is soft water and around 7.0 P.H so i was thinking this would be good for a gouranmi.
 
Well first i wanted a dwarf but keep reading they die and i'm only a begginer i don't want to take a chance.
 
i saw some sparkling or croaking Gourami on youtube making noises and sooo want one.
 
Ok, so questions ---
 
1. which is easier to keep the sparkling or croaking ?
 
2. How many do you need together or are they happy enough as individuals ?
 
3. How do they make that noise and do they do it often ?
 
4. will they be ok and safe in a 70 litre that also has harlequin rasbora and cherry barb ?
 
5.How long do they live for usually
 
thanx, sorry for all the questions lol

1. Probably about the same
2. They are happier in groups of 3-4
3. They make the noise during fights or whenever else they feel like it.
4. It depends on the numbers of other fish but they should be okay.
5. 2-3 years.

I had a pair of sparkleing Gouramis that I gave away for the sake of my ship babies. But I now got another pair because I missed my little guys. They are not hard to keep they eat everything will hunt down anything my female goes after snails in an aggressive way. It's cute.

My first pair did spawn for me. They made lots of noise during spawning and courting. I think the males make more noise then females. They are so cure and very very feisty. They breed really easy well for me. My pair now I have had for a few days is already getting very friendly. When they spawn they become as aggressive as the meanest cichlid.

I love these fish and think they are the best fish. I wish I kept my first pair.

If you have a pair just keep the pair. If you don't have a pair keep a group of 5-6. I think a pair is the best.
