Room for Gouramis?

[Garofoli]

Hello,
I am new to Monsterfishkeepers and proud to be here! So my question is do I have enough room for 3 Gouramis (1m/2f) in my 29g tank? The current stocking list is...
8 Harlies
2 Blue Rams
6 Leopard Cories

Also is it hard to find female gouramis? Thanks.

Probably. depends on the species of gourami. Some species it is harder to tell the sex of them than others. Shouldn't be any problem to find females.

Haha! Sorry I am hoping to have Dwarf Gouramis.

I'd say you could at least get a pair. This may be a stupid question, but im not familiar with the lingo... harlies are the rasbora right?

 

[Garofoli]

Yep!

I have heard of crosses of C. lalia with others like C. labiosa etc and i think they all turned out to be sterile males. Might be something to consider if you want to breed although im not sure you get them much anymore. Would imagine it would be hard to tell the difference though.
