fighting gouramis

[bluefire]

yeserday i bought 2 blue gouramis and 6 serpae tetras for my 15gal the problem is that the samaller gourami is getting picked on by the bigger one, not much just a tiny bit taken out of the fin but i want to stop it before ot gets out of hand. i can go to the lfs tomorrow and swap them but the new one might get picked on too what should i do??

gouramis are territorial and can be quite eggressive to other gouramis - they are related to bettas remember! how about swapping it for something else?
