Blue, Gold, And Pearl Gouramis

[kc43]

Hi, Im interested in Gold, Blue, and Pearl Gouramis. Since I have not kept any of these before, I have some questions. Which of these can be kept together? And how big of a tank would you recommend for a group of six of any of these kinds? Thank you for your help.

Gold/Blue's can be quite nasty fish even when in groups, But pearls are lovely fish and you can easily keep a pair in a 24"+ tank, but all these fish do better in larger tanks and 24" long being min size for a pair or adults.

I have 4 pearls, an opaline, 2 banded, 2 paradise, 2 gold, 4 honey and 4 dwarf gouramis in a 125G tank. They get on pretty well. Every now and then you see one chasing another, but it's not been more than that - and I think they're particularly agitated with the temp so high (about 84-85F)

I suspect they wouldn't get along so well if they couldn't get away from each other.

my girlfriend has 2 honey gouramis, 2 dwarf gouramis and three pearls and they all get along perfectly well

I have Gold, Blue, and Pearl Gouramis, and they all turn out fine! They don't fight with each other or anything.. They're very peaceful fish...

Trichogaster trichopterus which include 3 spot gourami, blue gourami, golden gourami, opaline gourami are the most agressive of the Gourami's so I would have suggested keeping these ones together but by the looks of everyones experience with Gourami's they all seem to get along

I have 10 gouramis in my 65g loach tank.
I have 3 (3spot) 3 opaluines and 4 honey. All get along great now that they are in a much larger tanks.
They were in a 29g. and i had some fights, probably because they were getting cramped, but all were purchased as babies, now they are almost full grown.
Beautiful fish great to watch and they even will feed from your hand, very curious too, they need ALOT of plants to feel secure.
