Kissing gourami

[baby neon]

I bought a 1 1/2 inch kisser last week and was told he wasn't going to be any trouble until he was older. Unfortunatlly he/she has started to attack my male dwarf gourami and has left a few injuries that clear up after a couple of days. Should I remove the kisser or will he settle down? ( I was planning to give him a bigger tank when he's MUCH older)

PLEAAAZZZZ HELP!

If it's causing that much of a problem just now, get it out. It may just be the fact thats it's another gourami thats causing the problem.

Maybe one of the other members will have more experance with them

Kissers are extreamly agressive especially towards other gouramies. Either take him out or take him back till you have a tank ready for him. Rose

You need to have lots of plants etc in the tank to provide ample hiding spaces. but Rose is right in the fact that Kissing gouramis are aggressive towards other gouramis.
