Betta and Dwarf Gourami?
I’m still dumb as shit when it comes to my fish and seeing mixed reviews on this isn’t teaching me anything.
I’ve seen people say go for it, absolutely not, and you can try it out. I saw a video of a heavily planted with one betta and one honey gourami and aside from the shyness of the gourami, both looked healthy and full colored.
I’m in a position where I am willing to try a young honey gourami in my 29 and if I see aggression I can return it the same day. I am getting more plants for the tank to fill up any gaps, so it may disrupt my betta’s territory just enough. I’m not entirely sure how established his “crib” is.
So far my betta has shown no aggression toward the other fish including a couple of platys and female guppies.
There’s just so many mixed experiences out there that I’m really tempted to test it out.
I am fully able to return the honey gourami same day as adding it. I just want some solid answers from the anabantoid community. Also be aware that I’m still new to fish. I’ve only had a tank set up for a year and I’ve been learning more as I go along. Friendly advice is much appreciated.
