this question has probly been asked a millon times but what would be a good tank mate? i have one full grown female blue gouramis, with 2 red platys in a 20 gallon tank. what about other typs of gouramis? guppys? tetras ect? any ideas would be great! :nod:
 
Dwarf, croaking, and honey gouramis do well in 20 gal tanks. Since your blue gourami is a female, you probably don't have to worry about aggression. If the blue gourami was a male, I would advise not adding any more gouramis to the tank, unless your tank was well planted (lots of natural floating plants, etc.). Tetras are very peaceful and generally mix well with any fish, and they'd do well in a 20 gal tank. Avoid barbs and other fin nippers as they'll go after the little feelers on the gourami. Most gouramis are territorial by nature, so plants, driftwood, and rocks are definitely worth considering.
 
There's also banded gouramies, thick-lipped gouramies and pearl gouramies. Considering the fish is female, you shouldn't have problems with any of these. You could also try sparkling gouramies.
