Compatability Of Angels And Gouramis

[GouramiGirl87]

I have two small angels, small enough to very comfortably fit in my 20 gallon, they also have two platy tank mates and a chinese algae eater. Would it be alright if i got a small opaline or golden gourami? I've heard goldens are semi aggressive is that true? Should I just wait to upgrade to a bigger tank before I put more fish in? Last time i put three more platys in and one of my angels freaked out and clamped up its fins. nevertheless, it found a new home the next day.

The only gourami I would avoid are the blue gouramis because I have seen them get pretty aggressive. But most others should do fine with angelfish. I would definately go for the opaline/lace gourami; very pretty and peaceful.

They demanded a little different water. If you have neutral water you should do fine concidering angels like acidic to neutral water where are gouramis like neutral to alkaline water. I think they would do fine together, just make sure the gouramis aren't small enough to get eaten or beat up bad.

Actually guaramis like acidic to nuetral water from pH 6.0-7.5

I'm glad someone asked this question because I plan to have a couple of Angels with my current stocklist (in my signature). Will Angels be okay with the 3-spot variety of Gouramis?
