CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Hello Jamie! So you've got some expeirance with Gourammis, I've got 4 now I thunk they are preety cool fish! I have a 5 1/2 inch moonlight G in with my O. I also have a gold and a two dwarf G's in a community tank, one of the dwarfs is blue and red and one is orange. The gold (4 1/2 inches) picks on the blue dwarf and has already killed a 4 inch sapphire. Are these fish predjudice or what? She picks on the blue ones but leaves the orange one alone, any clues?

I used to keep alot of blue gourami. to reduce agression I like to put in 1 male and however many females you like. the golds are ALOT more aggressive that the normal blues but you can be successful if you keep 1 blue male with gold females. probably they killed eachother cuz of two males. you can tell then apart by the male having a heavier build and a pointed dorsal fin as the females have a short round one. some say that the feelers are longer in the male but I think that that has more to do with genetics. I would like to get a gourami(the really big ones) that are called the "gourami" I guiss because the already used the name "giant gourami" on those stupid 4" longe ones! I would like to get those cuz they would make a great tank mate for and oscar as the get about 2' long!

Well Jamie, The blue was a male and the gold is female, He used to pick on her when they were small but when the got full grown, the gold turned out to be the aggresor! MGHGrand
