I have 4 variations of the Dwarf Gourami in a 200
liter community tank (inlcuding the Dwarf Gourami, Neon Dwarf, Flame
Dwarf, and Red-Fire Honey Dwarf with Neon Tetras, Blue and Gold Rams, a
Rainbow Shark, Kuhli Loaches and Plecostomus). The Dwarf Gouramis are a
very peaceful, easy fish to keep in a community tank. However, they tend
to bicker between each other but never to the point of damaging fins or
scales. They are busy-body types, always wanting to know what the
other is doing, always curious as to what I am doing to the tank when I
am cleaning, and always searching for food bits left on plant leaves.
Since I only have male pairs of each variation I've noticed a very
interesting "dance" they do when a confrontation occurs. The two males
will form a circle, nose to tail, with their bodies curled in a
semi-circle shape and dance around each other. Then they get bored and
go on their merry way. Dwarf Gouramis are lovely fish with brilliant
colors and their busy antics add a lot to any community tank.
