In my experience, Sparkling Gouramis do best in groups of at least 3-5 (more is always acceptable as long as the male to female ratio is close to 50%), not solo. Beautiful tank set up and love the video!

Sparkling gouramis are semi aggressive..I found that out the hard way…Now I have honey gouramis… such sweet little fish..I love them..🫶

Me: Mr Sparkles is so pretty, maybe I should look into getting a sparkling gourami! IM Aqua: Mr Sparkles nipped the pigmy cory's tails. Me: Never mind! lol

Awww poor little pygmies! Hope they all make a full recovery ❤️‍🩹

Cute little devil fish ! If you want a tank with one fish 😮

I also have such male gourami, he seems to be agressive to all the fish in the aquarium. First I had a couple of sparkling gouramis - male and female - then decided to add one more female, but it turned out to be a male😅 and after several months he started to chase the other male, a then other fish in the tank. So I had to move him into a smaller tank. Now he lives alone with two ottos. Yes, it depends on the fish character I think.

I keep 3 sparkling gourami in my 20g with 12 pygmy cories. Never had interactions between them at all. Also had 2 honey gourami and female betta. No interactions. Personality could just be hot headed for you, and maybe not enough space. I would have removed the sparkling gourami, bc i love the pygmy corys. i will ensure nothing harms those little things.

I just picked up a Gourami as a center fish in a 7 gallon cube tank I scaped with inspiration off your moss cube. I have him in there with 7 CPDs, 2 Otocinclus, and a handful of Orange Sunkist Shrimp. So far so good. Love your videos!

Hi, how much time passed between the introduction of the Gourami till it's reign of nipping terror began?

Your videos are so relaxing ❤.

Yup, my sparkling gourami is terrorizing my ember tetras. No fin damage yet though...

Great video

I once made a mistake to put a dwarf gourami in my 20 gallon long with pepper corries, platties and neons. That thing had become the terror of the entire fish tank. He had no mercy for anyone, especially during feeding time . I had to rehome him fast.

Noooo! The poor pygmys 🥲 They are usually super fast!

I've got to say, you caught the Pygmy's pretty easily (except the last one, ofcourse), especially with such a small net. 😅 They seem strangely relaxed, in your case. Like the H.amandae I mentioned under an earlier video, I seem to have this talent where I put the most skittish fish in a tank and only get to see them from a safe distance... Still undecided on what I should add to draw them out. Probably a handful of Endler guppys, because everything else either get to big for the tank or need a decent sized group to make sense. And I guess Sparkling Gourami isn't the answer either. 😉

How much % do you set for light intensity?

Yep, this bastard killed all of my shrimps

Didn't know you could keep Pygmy's in such a small tank

I was planning adding a sparkling gourami to a chili rasbora pack, now having second thoughts...

My case are female guppy, its hostile to anyone that are smaller than it. I remove the hostile fish & place it with bigger fish. While another female guppy are so friendly it tries to swim in school with neon tetra, its a complete 180 turn.

Oh my gosh! What happened? Maybe those coreys were being wicked and they deserved it? Were the new fish female? Was he showing off for them? I hope they will be OK!
