tank mates for dwarf gourami

[fishyfun29]

im getting ready to move my dwarf gourami into a 20g low tank, from his 5 gal eclipse, and was wondering what mid to upper level fish would be good tank mates. TIA

Just about any community fish can go well with a dwarf gourami. Check out the profiles at the top of this page and see which ones you like and then see if they are community fish. Just no bettas and I wouldn't advise mixing them with other gouramis. Also, only 1 male dwarf per tank.

A school of tetras would be nice in your eclipse tank. I would recommend the harlequin rasboras. They are excellent upper level fish.

Im actually moving "Kirby the Dwarf" into a 20 low so i think i might go for a nice school of harlequin rasboras!
Thanks for the comments and suggestions!!

Betta and Gourami's no problem

I’ve currently got 2 powder blue dwarf male gourami's and 2 blood red male gourami's in a 120 with a a few mollys, platys and my betta. Haven’t had any problems and there all getting along fine.

Yes, bpal, but you have a 120 gallon tank with plenty of room for the aggression to be spread out. She only has a 20 gallon tank. That is not enough room in my opinion to house more than one male gourami and certainly not a gourami and a betta. I like the idea of the school of rasboras. I do love a school of cardinal tetras though. I think they are absolutely beautiful!
