joliet Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 My male dwarf Gourami is chasing the Platys away from one corner of the tank he seems to like making his bubble nest in (and it only seems to be the platys he picks on, and goes to nip them too) and he really goes after the female Dwarf Gourami I bought at the same time as him - really chasing her around and scaring her into the plants. And now all she does is hide there and hardly comes out for food - I have to target feed her which is hard with the other ravenous fish in my tank. Is this normal behaviour for a male? I was told there were quite peaceful fish so I'm a bit worried. Either way, he's really stressing out the other fish and I don't feel comfortable keeping him. So was just wondering if theres anything I can do to keep him happy? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k1w1y2k Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 The males do get agressive during breeding. This site has alot of info about gourami's and breeding them. http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/gourami/ Hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
