Gourami Query

[Shaman]

Hi

I'm looking for a couple of new fish to add to my tank (180l) which is currently stocked with:

1 x BN Plec
2 x Bolivian Rams
12 x Silvertip Tetras

and like the look of a couple of dwarf gouramis. However I've seen advice that as they are slow moving, the silvertips can get quite nippy however they leave the Rams and Plec alone (unless it's Brine Shrimp time!) and they seem to take their aggresion out on each other. Is this likely to be an issue and can anyone recommend a type of gourami?

Cheers

I like my honey gourami but not sure how they would do with the silver tips. I've never liked those tetra as they can get very aggressive. Silver tips usually show aggression to smaller fish, like neons and mountain minnows, but the last ones I had were evil and they even bothered my catfish, which was totally shocking!
