michael.qian Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Saw some great looking dwarf gouramis both in Jansans and Hollywoods today, looking for a few fish to replace my swordtails and they seem to be a very good choice. Except problem is I've got a red male siamese fighter I don't want to give up. I've heard of some people having problems and other not having problems. Anyone kept them together? What's your oppinion? I'll be looking at getting 3-4. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindy500 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 my female fighter seems ok with my dg's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.qian Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 female will be more peaceful, mine is a male, but it is peaceful with every fish in my tank. I might try just one or two to start with, see how they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

je_suis_ketan Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I had a couple of dwarf gourami with my Male fighter. I was actually more worried of the gourami harassing the fighter. If you get 3 or 4 though I found that the agression is spread out amongst the gourami. Also I think fighters are a bit to slow to really bother the gourami too much.

michael.qian Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Picked up a neon blue one at Jansans (Hollywood didn't have any). They were imported, so disappointed there, but I thought I'll just get one and see how it goes. However I never examine the fish carefully enough, this time I found one of the "needles", at the bottom front (you should know what I mean) broken off, would it grow back? Update... This morning found the siamese fighter had a few holes in its tail, but I never seen them fight and the siamese fighter does have the occasional holes in its tail all the time, will keep a close watch.
