Howdy,
If they were in the same 30 gal tank you mention in another post: Yes, they can harm each other. Especially if you have several males. Male gouramis should not be kept together in a "small" tank. Make sure to provide plenty of hiding spots e.g. with plants.
BTW: cheap or not, they're still fish and you should strive for the best possible care...

great info harley but it doesnt matter about the hiding places have four in a 55 bow heavy planted and drift wood once they start the chase its dosent stop
Howdy,
Yeah. My male chases three females around ... in a 220 gal
I don't even want to know if he could get along with another male in my tank.
That once again emphasizes that research is most important before you buy fish - and don't trust a sales clerk to be able to distinguish genders. I actually had to point out what fish I wanted, otherwise I would maybe also be stuck with more than one male.
