Tankmates For Dwarf Gouamis

[ny2oz]

Hello! I have two dwarf male gouramis, and two cory catfish in a 12 gallon tank. Any suggested tank mates, or should this be the limit to my tank?

Get some Tetras

Or White Cloud Minnows... They also get on well with my Plec's too.

anything that isnt goin to bother it.
so tetra', platies, danios..

But the tank size does limit the amount.

I'd up the number of cories to 5, they really like groups.

Anything really within reason,

I have a female Kribensis in with mine, and my tank is the same size in terms of gallons . They get on fairly well although I suspect it isn't a choice of pairing many would make. I got my gourami as a friend for the krib as she was lonely and very timid. His presence has worked wonders.

You could have 4 Otocinclus in there with him, they stay nice and small but will need to be supplemented with algae tablets/wafers. Some male guppies would also work, 4-6 but no more than that really.

 

[fish are friends....]

I'd go for a couple more corys, kuhli loach, swordtails, platys, guppies, tetras, (congo tetras are my favourite)
Take you pick anyway, but these are all good fish!

I wouldn't go for plecs, they get too big! unless you want a zebra which are nice, but still, with the corys, they arn't really neccasary!

unless you get a pleco that stays small dont get one.(I have a rubber-nose pleco and he stays nice and small about 1 inch)

ummm..... a small shoal of zebra danios might work well as they are peacefull, and they may incourage the gouramis to come out more if they are shy.
