vindy500 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 i just got a male fighter, lovely looking CT thing, put him in the same tank as a dwarf gourami, they seem to be facing off, fighter is flaring, gills right out and everything, gourami headbutts him a couple of times they swim off and settle for a while, is this ok or should i move the gourami?

Guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Sorry I don't know the answer to your question but just wanted to ask where you got your fighter?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Both being anabantoids they are possibly never going to get on particularly if the gourami is a male. What else is in the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 If you are going to have problems it will be between the angel, gourami and fighter as they have the reputation of not always getting along. However hopefully they will sort it out and settle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana Luke Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I've always been told that fighters should be kept solitary as anything that is colourful, or has long flowy fins is going to be a target for a fighter. Also, because gourami's are anabantoids the fighter will not like them as they are very territorial. http://www.ultimatebettas.com/index.php?showtopic=14389 Read that - It may help you.
