Multiple Dwarf Gourami Males?

[salsa]

Can they coexist? I heard no from somebody and have never heard of this before.

anybody?

Bigger tank required. The females are silver and a bit dull compared to the males? Refresh my memory it's been a while since I had them......

yes females very dull compared to the males. How big of a tank to keep 3 and some neons?

I had 4 and two females in a 110usg community tank a few years back with a load of other gouramis and rainbows with to problems. I've had various gouramis over the years the only aggression issues I've had with any of them is the giant I have now. I can't see an issue with something like a 55, if your still worried make sure you add some hiding spots just in case of any trouble

back from the dead.

since this is something I want an answer too rather then start a new post I figured I would bump this one.

I have a planted 20 gallon long I am considering setting up as a more Asian biotop. Do dwarf gourami's eat plants? I also want a school of them how many would I need to difuse territorial aggression? Like cichlids, I am thinking I could keep 6-8 of them in the tank. I am not planning any other fish but a siamese algae eater for this setup. seems everyone that has problem is asking about keeping two or three in the same tank.
