phoenix44 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Some gouramis can't stand to be kept in pairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexyay Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Siamese fighters are Gourami so the pair thing isn't necessarily a rule (same goes for Kissing Gourami, but they are in a different family and have very different care, including being pretty aggressive and 30cm big), but IMO trios are often best - this can prevent a male picking on a sole female and spreads aggression. I haven't had my recent lot of thicklips spitting, but I used to have some reds which would always spit at the surface when they ate - it was one of my favourite things about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Siamese fighters are Gourami so the pair thing isn't necessarily a rule Huh, Just checked, they are. Both in the gourami family: Osphronemidae. Never thought of that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
