Gouramis And Bettas

[Stingraey]

I know it says to use caution when it comes to gouramis and bettas but i want to know if i can put them together.
i have a 50L tank with 2 dwarf gouramis and one kissing gourami. They all get along great.
Is it possible to put a male betta in the tank?

I wouldn't. It's not so much caution is advised as it is something that should not be done. Bettas and gouramis are closely related and the likeihood of fighting is high.

Are you planning to get a much bigger tank soon? The kissing gourami will grow to 20 - 25cm and needs a 5 foot tank.

and yes. This tank is big enough at the moment but i plan to get a bigger one when the time arises
