I heard that Gouramis are very dirty fish and I have two of them in a new tank. Is that a bad Idea.

Red Dwarf. I had one from my first little tank and I liked it a lot , so when I got the new tank I just transferred that one over and then bought a new one later on.

Hopefully you got a Male/Female pair....the males will fight all the time if you did, or you can provide some peace for them by providing and out of site line for them. The they will only battle when they see each other. That is the only problem I can think of.
I am curious about this as I have heard they are much like having 2 male Bettas in a tank together. However I see 10 of them in a tank sometimes at pet stores and no signs of aggression at all. Are there certain types that get along and certain types that you can't mix or have more than 1 of?

by the way, the females are silvery and smaller than the male.... i doubt you have a pair as the females are hard to find

One of them does seem to pick on the other a lot.

Those are the best in my opinion. There are several types of red. Is this the kind that have the pheasant colored body.

Yep the first one is the one. When the top and bottom fins are flattened they are this very florescent blue color.

My grandpa had the second one along with the blue dwarfs. They are great fish. He never had much luck with them. I am doin better. I have opaline gouramis. I want to try dwarfs soon myself.
