After seeing all the awesome entries I got gourami fever. I bought a pearl gourami and a blue paradise gourami today.

After reading the profile for blue paradise gourami's tho, I saw that they are very territorial. How come the pretty ones have to have flaws!?!? In my tank (25 gal) I have 6 cory cats, two kribs, the pearl and the blue paradise. Think I'll be ok? *bites fingernails*

I'll try to get some pics of them. I'm waiting on an online order with some new airstones so I might wait until I do a little tank housekeeping first, tho ;)

they can be really agressive.. but the regular gourami's get fairly large. that is why i stick to dwarf.. they only get about 2 inches.. i had one that was agressive but i took it back to the lfs today.. the other 2 get along great now.. just keep your eye on them. hope it works out
