10g

I can't see any of them fighting. My dwarf gourami used to fight with the rainbow shark, but they've gotten used to each other.

Just between the Gourami and the ghosties. They (ghosties) could just wind up being lunchmeat one day.

Are you able to get female dwarf gourami at your LFS? No one around here carries them; I wanted one, but didn't look online as I'm not too comfortable with the idea of having fish shipped.

Sounds like it should work, except as said the shrimp could end up as lunch. Remember to add one fish at a time with a week or two between each.

Agreed.I will add though,to what snail said,to introduce the least aggressive ones first working your way to most likely the gourami.
