Ok so first Tank specs 60 gallon, 77 degrees, 0am, 0 nitrite, 20 Nitrate, Moderately planted. After switching them from the q tank to the main the Gourami's have turned into tank bullies. They try to eat all of the tank food, chase the other fish (except the glass cats for some reason), And have even taken over the hidey log I got for my poly's. Tank mates are 2 ropefish (soon to be 3 as one is getting close to being out of the q tank) 1 Palmas Palmas Bichir, 1 African Butterfly fish, 10 glass cats, and 5 surviving ghost shrimp. All of the fish (again except the glass cats) are bigger than the gouramis and yet they tend to bully their tank mates. Is this a case of don't believe what you have read (That Dwarf Gouramis are shy and tend to frighten easily) or did I get weird Gouramis?
