Female dwarf gourami with guppies?

[✨Eurobeat✨]

Not for a tank that I currently have, just maybe a hypothetical future tank, cab a female dwarf gourami live with guppies? I know they're less aggressive than the males I just don't know how much less aggressive. Also, the gourami would want a more meaty food and the guppies would want a more planty food, so what would you feed a community tank with both?

It's preferable not to keep the 2 types of fish together because they come from water with completely different parameters.
Guppies do best in water with a pH above 7.0 and a GH around 200ppm.
Gouramis come from water with a pH below 7.0 and a GH below 100ppm.

I agree with Colin here as a good reason not to do so. I've also had issues in the past of them harassing each other. Though this was with males, one attacked the Guppies and the second one was nipped at by the Guppies. Neither situation was good(in a 33 gallon).

While females are usually significantly less aggressive, they are still very much capable of doing what the males are capable of.
