I love my honey gourami. I got him after I saw this video and he's so chill. All he does it clean my plants/wood all day and freaks out my blue eyed rainbows with his feelers😂
Nice selection. The pearl gourami is my favorite gourami! They really look amazing as they mature and I also find them to be much more laid back compared to other gouramis of similar size.
I know this is a two year old video but I really appreciate your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and accepting that fish keeping is different for everyone!
My honey gourami is one of my favs....super peaceful and curious. Checks out even the aggressive fish that are introduced. One time she even swam INTO the net and waited there while I was attempting to move another tankmate
male Paradise Fish are actually one of the more aggressive Labyrinth fish, not just with each other but towards many other community fish, not sure I'd really recommend them, unless you get a female. Moonlight Gouramis and Snakeskin Gouramis are also fairly peaceful, but get pretty big.
no lol. my juvenile giant gourami chases my iridescent sharks, black ghost knife fish and my chinese high fin banded shark (i'm planning on transferring it to a single specimen tank after i finish setting up my 100g for the other guys) not sure about the adults thou, i heard they get more peaceful as they age. Weird thing is he does not bother with my 3 bichirs and my pleco he just investigate and give them a little sniff then let them sit beside him except the 3 others
never thought those are gouramis.. childhood memory, love to catch those beautiful Gourami and guppy fish in town river. they are way too easy to catch lol..
I love watching your short programmes , so interesting learning about different fish . I'm a beginner and I'm so interested in the Gouramis . Thank you for your knowledge.
Gouramis are some of my favorite fish. My Pearl is really showing some colors now. I recently got a Moonlight Gourami. Great vid and thanks for sharing.
I think the sparkling gourami would also be a good choice. From what I'm reading, they're pretty peaceful, can be kept in schools, and, perhaps best of all, they're very small; they only get a couple of inches. They can also make a clicking sound, though I don't remember if that's a territorial thing with males or if it can happen in general. It's pretty cool though since most fish dont make sounds.
Pearl gourami has always been my favorite fish. Haven’t had any since the 80s, had a hard time finding them and took up the salt water hobby soon after (was working at a pet store in Seattle and they didn’t have a good rep as a healthy fish). Glad to see they are still around
How did I know Honey Gourami would be number one??? You should have put the Sparkling Gourami at # ".2" ... since that is its size in relation to the others. And it talks to boot! Paradise fish are great!
I live in China and have found what translates to "Ball Gouramis" in both blue and pearl so far. Seeking more info on them and also want to find out if more colors are available. I really like them! So far they are all about the size of quarter after several months of growing and seem peaceful. They like to hide at times amongst the plants, but they also like to swim around at different tank levels.
I know your mileage may vary but my male powder blue gourami was never very aggressive with my other fish, except a little chasing during feeding time.
I got 4 male powder blue gouramis accidentally and they never bother each other and hang out with each other in my 40 gallon breeder. Do you think I should return 3 of them to the pet store or keep watching them for another week. They live with 9 embers. I'll return them tomorrow if I see them nip at each other outside of feeding times.
Chocolate gourami are awesome, especially in a group. Its rare to find a store that has healthy ones because, as you mention, they are a bit finicky about their water parameters.
I love my Pearl! He is really a nice centerpiece fish for my 30. He can be a wee bit nippy towards his tankmates but for the most parts glides around like he owns the joint.
Gotta say Pearl Gouramis are the best. i have one in my 10 gallon, I need to get a 50 gal for her sometime but she is doing fine in her the 10 gallon with my 4 corydoras.
Thanks for this list. I agree with all of them except one, the albino paradise Gourami killed all my emperor tetras around 24 fish in only a weeks time! At night when the tank lights were turned off I caught him snipping the sleeping empeor tetra's one by one, he was sadistic =(
I've got six honey gourami fry (well, the oldest isn't really a fry anymore) I've raised up from the six I got from your store a couple months ago. A great introduction to fish breeding!
Used to have a golden gourami in my old tropical community tank. His name was spongebob and he ruled the back of the tank and all the fish respected him haha
Great video again guys! I love this series!! I've kept Gouramis in the past and they are awesome!! Might get some new ones soon! Keep them coming!! As always a big like! #Fishfam
Everything I've read about the chocolate gourami talks about keeping very specific water chemistry, namely very soft, acidic, low in carbonates, and full of tannins. This last condition is usually met by running water through peat or oak leaves. From your video, it's impossible to tell, but the water looks very clear. Do you find the chocolates to be more adaptable to more commonplace water chemistry? They are so interesting looking and it would be neat to have them in a large-ish community tank. Thanks, love your videos!
Hi, may I know where did you get the Chocolate gourami from....local breeder or from another country? If you get it from a different country...which country is it? Please reply....thanks
Really enjoyed this thank you!! Gouramis are one if my favorites to keep so I really appreciate you hopefully spreading the love to other hobbyists lol
So I don't know how this has happened. I just rescued an aquarium that was left behind when my friends roommate decided to just dip. What was left behind was a 30 gallon aquarium with eight neon tetra two tetra I don't know what they are and a betta. What I was really blown away with is that I always heard that beta once separated from their families didn't like living with nobody. Well since I've rescued this aquarium and 10 other fish living with the beta I have added two golden honey gouramis I've added two Julian Cory cats I've added a powder blue dwarf and a orange flame dwarf gourami I've added three neon tetra and the coolest fish in the aquarium and nicest to all the fish is the beta I'm blown away I think I'm going to get a bigger aquarium just to see what this beta will put up with
Would have been cool to see Leopard Bushfish (ctenopoma) on this list. Mine have always been peaceful with other fish of similar size, they are also hardy. At least in my experience. I like how you included chocolate gouramis. It's nice to see fish that are a bit rarer and not beginner fish being talked about. Chocolates are without a doubt one of my favorites. Liquorice Gouramis would have been a cool addition aswell.
I love waatching your videos . I'm learning so much . Your top 5 Gouramis.....can I put them together in a 190 litre tank? I really love Gouramis Cory . Plus can I put guppies with the other Gouramis ? I have x2 honey Gouramis and x8 Ember Tetras living together in a small tank . Many thanks for putting all these videos on .
would a pearl gourami's feelers be a problem living with golden barbs? GB's are famously less nippy than other barbs, but do you think those feelers would be too tempting?
Ok I know this video is a little old, but I just love these kinds of video, especially Aquarium Co Op!! But I have goldfish as pets and I'm trying to find if there are any fish that get along with them, I hope u can make a video of that!! Thanks!!! Ur amazing!
I’m transitioning from saltwater to freshwater and I set up my first freshwater tank. I’m very knowledgeable about saltwater fish but I don’t know much about freshwater fish. The new tank is 10 gallons by the way. I was thinking that I could put one dwarf gourami and 6 or 7 neon tetras in there. Is that a good combination? I’ve done my research and many say that is fine, but I trust you more.
Have in my community tank 240l honey gouramis (sweethearts!), two large males blue gouramis (tolerate each other in one each opposite corner) and a bunch of paradise fish of 2 different species, 2 females and 4 males. These go well together after establishing some hierarchy. And between the species i have zero problem what so ever! No bullying or harassing. Only once my honey female has walloped the rest of gouramis and shoved around manacapuru angelfishes, when she decided to make space for the baby chamber. She totally topped my big bandits... they had no chance against a little female, haha
That was helpful. In my 65g I have a red beta and a honey gourami in a community tank. Now they are doing great, first couple of days there was a little issue. Can I risk putting more Honey Gourami's in or the Paridice fish into this mix? I really like their colors, but don't want to a tank war.
Always had dwarf gourami. I accidentally bought a honey gourami and it’s the best fish I have ever had. He is called John McClane from Die Hard. My tank broke and not sure how long he was without water but he was on the substrate looking dead. Added him and some of his friends to a bucket of treated water and took them to the fish shop he is the only fish that loved lost 16 fish except for this guy
If you’re talking about comparability with their own species, then yes dwarf gouramis should be on this list. Always have kept one as the only gourami in the tank though and I’ve never had a problem with make dwarf gouramis... kept them with all sorts of tetras, corydoras, etc. Paradisefish are the absolute devil though. They’re good if you want something a little more unique than a run-of-the-mill betta and only have a 5-10 gal tank. Other than that I would absolutely agree with this list. Maybe add the sparkling or thicklip gourami in place of the paradisefish. Gouramis seem to be the only group of fish where nobody can really agree on how aggressive they are. I’ve had three-spot/ blue gouramis that literally killed everything despite being labeled peaceful in many books. I’ve had completely docile bettas and kissing gouramis. I’ve had pearls that get *very* aggressive around feeding time but are exemplary otherwise. The temperament of these fish varies even more than cichlids. Honestly, any gourami species is fine under two conditions: they are the only gourami in the tank, or you have so many that aggression is diffused. I have found that gouramis do very well in specimen tanks even if they’re a little small.
@@Urolling yes, I've had several powder blues...they're just another color form of dwarf gouramis. they have much more noticeable sexual dimorphism versus other species. in this case, the dwarf gouramis that you see in stores that are brightly colored in different blue, striped, and red forms are all males. female dwarf gouramis are silver and tend to stay smaller. They're also pretty rare to find; I have only seen them in a few aquarium specialty stores, never in big box stores.
Honestly quite shocked the Croaking Gourami (Trichopsis Vittata) isn't in the video!! It's one of the Most peaceful freshwater aquarium Fish out there!!!! 💚🤎💛
Great list! I was planning on setting up a community tank using multiple species of gourami but am unsure of compatibility. Its going to be a densely-planted roughly 55 gallon setup. I was hoping to be able to use a pair of pearl gourami, a small group of samurai chocolate gourami (only about 4), and a shoal of 6 or so sparkling gourami. Would I run into any compatibility issues with these in the same tank?
Now im sure this is just a coincidence, but i had two female pearl gouramis in a planted 75 gallon. I watched one bully the other to the floor repeatedly and i had no tank it could have gone in and i lossed the gourami. I would recommend to keep pearl gouramis in a tank with lots of places to hide from eachother and getting 3 instead of a pair.
ok thanks. whould i be able to add anything into the 33L if i went with 3? i dont want to overstock and end up with aggression due to space or water quality problems
I hear Paradise fish are quite agressive towards other fish that swim around, but how do they get along with fish that just crawl on surfaces? I want to get some hillstream loaches, but I also want some pretty cold water fish to fill the water column the loaches won't use. Would paradise fish mind their own business, or would they pester the loaches?
I like that Cory...."Very Gourami~Esk" LOLOLOL. I really like the powder blue and the honey. Real bummer that I never see honey gourami. I will have to go on a mission.
Do Paradise Fish do well with White Clouds? I used to have a Blue Gourami. He bullied smaller fish like Zebra Danios and Cory Catfish. However when I paired him with four Giant Danios, he seemed to transform overnight into a quiet, mild-mannered fish.

Yes, of course.

Yay I just got a honey for my community tank 2 days ago, I love them so much ❤️❤️ I saw one a few weeks ago online and fell in love! I had to get one
Our Opaline gourami is pretty chill. We tried the paradise fish, and they kinda tried to destroy our community, though
Mine as well
iva always considered gourami to be some of the most attractive and interesting of all aquarium fish, right up there with New World Cichlids
How did I know Honey Gourami would be number one??? You should have put the Sparkling Gourami at # ".2" ... since that is its size in relation to the others. And it talks to boot! Paradise fish are great!
I think because they get super territorial once they mate and spawn.
Sparkling Gouramis are my favorites, they are so curious and adorable. Never had any issues with mine. Can't wait to get my tank set up again.

Keep them coming!!

Thank you for your continued support Danny! Congrats on 1750 subs!
Everything I've read about the chocolate gourami talks about keeping very specific water chemistry, namely very soft, acidic, low in carbonates, and full of tannins. This last condition is usually met by running water through peat or oak leaves. From your video, it's impossible to tell, but the water looks very clear. Do you find the chocolates to be more adaptable to more commonplace water chemistry? They are so interesting looking and it would be neat to have them in a large-ish community tank. Thanks, love your videos!
My 2 blue flame male dwarf gouramis didn't get along in the beginning but they do now!
Wow usually when already from same group they are fine if they are not fighting in the tank you for them from.

Many thanks for putting all these videos on .
A rare one, but not as finicky as the Chocolates, Licorice gouramis are very timid but NEAT
Keep hearing about this DGD for Dwarf Gouramis after I just bought one. Now I watch him to see if he exhibits any problems.
I love Pearl Gouramis, used to have 3 - will be getting more someday - Thanks for the good info!
I have a honey gourami and a king betta together. They dont care about each other. I want another one but i worried about them fighting.
would a pearl gourami's feelers be a problem living with golden barbs?

I personally think the blue/opaline or 3 spot gourami is interesting as well, I've had paradise fish and they were some what aggressive.
Which puffer would be compatible with 3 angelfish, a group of guppies, a betta, and a paradise fish. A avocado or amazon puffer?
Amazon is more likely to be compatible.
I got my first Gouramis today!: 2 female (we are hoping) sparkling. It was that or the honey.
how can you tell if powder blues are male/female.? esp if getting from my LFS? thanks 👍

Do you think you can keep a pea puffer together with dwarf gouramis?
Hey Cory ,another awesome vid , keep it up from the uk
Question would 4 plattys 3 mollies 2 dwarf gouramis and 4 Cory’s work for a 36 gallon
Great list! I was planning on setting up a community tank using multiple species of gourami but am unsure of compatibility. Its going to be a densely-planted roughly 55 gallon setup. I was hoping to be able to use a pair of pearl gourami, a small group of samurai chocolate gourami (only about 4), and a shoal of 6 or so sparkling gourami. Would I run into any compatibility issues with these in the same tank?
Now im sure this is just a coincidence, but i had two female pearl gouramis in a planted 75 gallon. I watched one bully the other to the floor repeatedly and i had no tank it could have gone in and i lossed the gourami. I would recommend to keep pearl gouramis in a tank with lots of places to hide from eachother and getting 3 instead of a pair.
nice, ive always liked the gouramis. would a school of neons do well in a 33L with 2 honey gouramis?
I'd probably go with 1 or 3 for the honey gouramis.
ok thanks. whould i be able to add anything into the 33L if i went with 3? i dont want to overstock and end up with aggression due to space or water quality problems
Gouramis are my favourite love them all.
Nice series on gourami. I never had the honey gourami but it is on my fish to have list. Thanks for the info.
Good video!
hi can i ask, is the honey gourami the same fish as the golden gourami ?
My god what was that fish with the pearl gourami? The orange hrad silver mid section and black rear. Stunning fish.
Can you have a mix of Gouramis in a tank ? ie pearl with dwarf ?
I hear Paradise fish are quite agressive towards other fish that swim around, but how do they get along with fish that just crawl on surfaces? I want to get some hillstream loaches, but I also want some pretty cold water fish to fill the water column the loaches won't use. Would paradise fish mind their own business, or would they pester the loaches?
32 gallon tank, well planted...how many females can you keep? Something like the powdered blue?
I like that Cory...."Very Gourami~Esk" LOLOLOL. I really like the powder blue and the honey. Real bummer that I never see honey gourami. I will have to go on a mission.
Do Paradise Fish do well with White Clouds?
I used to have a Blue Gourami. He bullied smaller fish like Zebra Danios and Cory Catfish. However when I paired him with four Giant Danios, he seemed to transform overnight into a quiet, mild-mannered fish.
Would a flame dwarf gourami do good with guppy and platies? Or are they aggressive
