I have a 40 gallon tank with a dwarf gourami now. Just yesterday the angelfish and tetras were ok. I was shocked. So I went out and bought a goldfish and a betta to see if it was really the dwarf gourami that killed everything and it was! The gourami was chasing, nipping, and fighting with the betta. He was relentless, he then murdered the goldfish. I took the betta out before anything happened. Have you guys encountered such an aggressive gourami? What made him go nuts? I am going to get rid of him, but in all my years of fish keeping I never owned such a underrated fish.
 
never heard of this happening before... although my gourami is kept with fishes that are aggressive, i don't think they would suit well with tetras and the such, but angel fishes... never heard of it... have seen angel's pecking on tetras as well, but the gourami's attacking angels is something new to me, maybe its a one-off? O.O should keep him alone for now
 
I never had one like that.
 
I have had aggressive gourami before like anaggressive gold gourami and an agressive blue gourami. What kind of dwarf one did you have?
