Its only the gourami in the tank, he's alone.

Awesome, thanks for the advice! I'm not sure I have room for a 20g, but I could definitely fit a 15 gallon, what would you recommend I put with him in the 15 gallon, considering he is pretty territorial and sometimes aggressive?

Hey yall, I have had a dwarf gourami for the past 6-ish months. When I first purchased him, I also got a Columbian tetra. After a few days of them chasing each other, and learning that the tetra was a schooling fish, I returned him to the fish store, and now I have my gourami alone in a...

Nope, theres no other fish in the tank and he definetly doesn't have DGID, he's as shiny as ever, and he is still eating and his scales are perfectly intact

How can i help with dgd?

Just the dwarf gourami and few snails in a 10g tank :)

Not sure if this is relevant, but I also got a few snails a couple of weeks ago.

I got a dwarf gourami about 4 months ago, and he is usually pretty active and swims all around the tank. In the past few weeks, he has been very skiddish and tends to stay in the same spot at the top of the tank. He is also very hesitant when eating (he used to be much more excited to eat, and...

Will the dwarf gourami be sad and lonely alone?

I know I'm a new fish keeper, but I genuinely would not be able to keep a fish if I knew that it would be unhappy, it is very important.

Ya, I totally get it, I love that you advocate for fish happiness and not just survival <3

Thanks for all of the help, I really appreciate it, Byron. I am going to keep my dwarf gourami alone for at least a few months and see how he does. For now, I will keep the gourami alone, get a floating plant, and maybe add a few snails :) again, I really appreciate all of the advice.

yes, for a while

Oh, really? I have a friend who told me corydoras are good in a 10 gallon, and even a 5 gallon

fuuunky

or maybe she could add come corydoras? :)

maybe she could add some mollies or guppies??

Thanks for the advice! I am planning to keep the gourami because I have done my research and he will do well in a 10-gallon tank. I also know that my specific fish is pretty shy, and that is why I plan on adding a few platys. I know that the platys will not be too threatened by the aggressive...

idk, you dont want it to get lonely, so maybe put some platys, the gourami will most likely not bother them.

In a bigger tank, what would you reccommend as far as tank mates?

I'm no expert, but it looks like your other fish may be biting him, because if he was sick, he would probably not be eating normally. good luck :)

Sup yall. I have a dwarf gourami who was very aggressive and chased around bm previous fish. It is living in a 10-gallon tank and I don't want it to be lonely. Should I get on or two more dwarf gouramis or should I just get 3 or 4 platys? Thanks, bros!
