Can Gouramis be kept with other fish?
Gouramis can be kept with other fish if the tank mates are peaceful and compatible species such as small tetras, platies, guppies, mollies, Corydoras catfish, shrimp like Amano and ghost shrimp, and rainbowfish. Aggressive fish like cichlids should be avoided to prevent harassment of gouramis.
How many Gouramis should be kept together?
The number of gouramis to keep together depends on species and tank size. Most dwarf gouramis are males and can be territorial and aggressive. It is generally recommended to keep only one dwarf gourami per tank or separate males to avoid aggression. In very large tanks, groups might work, but this is risky for typical home aquariums. Having two females per male can reduce aggression, though females are less commonly available.
Are Gouramis hard to keep?
Gouramis are generally manageable for hobbyists but require attention to individual personality and compatibility. Some are peaceful and community-friendly while others may be aggressive or territorial. Providing adequate hiding places, proper tank mates, a balanced diet, and maintaining water quality is important but not overly difficult.
Can Gouramis live in a community tank?
Yes, many gourami species, especially dwarf gouramis, can live peacefully in community tanks with compatible species like tetras, livebearers, Corydoras, and shrimp, provided the tank is large enough with hiding spots. Monitoring individual temperament and territorial behaviour is essential, and females tend to be more peaceful than males.
