i just got a pair last week. not sure if i got 2 males, but so far they get along fine. i have them in an unheated 12 gal clear plastic tub filled completely with my overflow of spare plants, so they can't chase/charge at each other in open water. they have to wiggle through the plants like snakes, of which they remind me. they will hang out together but not all the time. i have heard they can take the temps outside in winter, but afraid to try doing that.
I have 3 wild caught black paradise gourami. They were juveniles when I bought them. They are a bit of a different beast. Not much content out on them. They have torn the heck out of the fins of my long fin corydoras but can’t catch the gold ring danios.
I use tooooo have this type 🐟 many years ago.. Thanks for sharing ✌

I have both regular and albino strains, best kept alone
Can i put a paradise fish with my 2/300 bloody mary shrimp? Also with 20 neon tetra's. Will he eat all my shrimp in a week or will it be fine?
I fell off the hobby, but that does not sound like a good idea. Most Gouramis are predators and I have no clue how big/small bloody mary shrimp are
