Honey Sunset Gouramis
I bought 2 honey sunset gouramis yesterday and are they beautiful and awesome ! From the start, leisurely swimming around their 20 gallon tank.
I'd like to eventually add more gouramis. Any type better suited with the honey sunsets ? Suggestions ? Thanks !! |

Re: Honey Sunset Gouramis
In a 20 gal I wouldn't add any additional labyrinth fish. Your pair could be territorial and even aggresive with a new gourami tankmate.

Re: Honey Sunset Gouramis
Agreed. In my 20g I've got 4 Fire Honey Gouramis (1 male, 3 females) but I added them all together and when they were young, so they've grown up as a happy group. There is the odd female/female chase, but normally they get along fine.
Mixing gourami species doesn't work in a 20g tank... males don't tolerate females of another species, and they don't tolerate other males at all. Try adding a school of smaller fish like Neons or Cardinals.

Re: Honey Sunset Gouramis
I have 5 zebra danios in with the 2 honey sunsets currently in the 20 gal.
(The zebras came over from my 29 gallon.) I'm not sure I want another schooling fish. Any other fish that would go well with this mix ? |

Re: Honey Sunset Gouramis
Not sure..... I don't know if there's another fish that can be kept singly (since you don't want schools) that will be compatible with Gouramis...... what about a dwarf species of pleco? (They need real drift wood though because they eat it.) You just don't want to overstock the tank that's all.
