Gourami Abuse!

[Goosteady]

I have two moonlight gouramis and one of them is constantly picking on the other. It leaves the other fish, and the african clawed frog in the tank alone, but chases it's gourami counterpart whenever it pleases (which is often).

Should I take this aggresive fish out? I'm afraid he will end up killing the other, simply from nipping at his tail everyday.

They are both about 3 1/2" long.

i had the same problem with two golden gouramis a while ago, and seperation was the only way i got them to stop. if they are two males(which they probably are) the aggressor will not stop. id reccomend returning one.

How can you tell the difference between the sexes? The fins?
