sweet tank. My black sand will be here tues. for my 150 gal. front tank.Gourami are o.k. with fronts?. Cause if thats so my girlfriend will love me thats all she talks about is gouramis..
This is my first experience with them. The guy who had them said they would be fine with even the tiniest ones. They are big quiet calm fish. In the couple days i have had them i have only seen them "dart" in the tank once . I have only seen them be aggressive once and that was to each other not another fish . They are nearly 10 inches, some are 10. THey are in with several africans, some of the africans are only 2 inches or less. No issues. they like to eat the algae. I wouuld say if my fish are a typical example of how they behave then yes, the big kissing gourami variety are fine to be kept with fronts. The snake skin is also good. I would not get any dwarf gourami cause the fronts will eat them when they get bigger than the gourami. Make sure that the species you end up getting is not labeled "giant gourami" they are a different species than these and get to be 36", I can look up the kissing and snakeskin gourami scientific name if you cant find it yourself . let me know. i found it using websearch, just didnt save it.
