Dwarf Gourami Vs Discus

[Treehuggaz]

I was thinking about adding a couple of dwarf gourami that a friend is getting rid of into my tank, I have 6 discus fish and many fry at the moment and about 20 other fish.

I know that the gourami prefer water temperature of about 72-82.

does anybody know if the slight increase in temperature will kill them if i introduce them?

you should have some floating plants available. drawf gourami will feel more safe.

Yeah i have several floating plants and bottom plants too, i was more concerned about the slight increase in temperature.

I have them in a separate tank now and am going to introduce them on Monday hopefully they will be ok, I will keep an eye on them.

gouramis are hardy fish, it wouldn't be a prob. so are they adjusting well since u put them in?

Hi, sorry about the delay in replying but i have been away on holiday and when i came back had to wait 3 weeks to transfer my internet provider.

The Gourami's have settled in fine with no problems except they were a bit harrased by the other fish for a few days, but everyone is ok now and they have even grown slightly.

I have another tank im contemplating on converting to marine so my fiance can have some seahorses to look at as she tells me i spend too much time with my fish...

Any comments are welcome...
