my gourami is no more

[navigator]

My little honey gourami has beeen chased and harrased by the larger honey gourami that i have until I have just seen the little blighter give up and go to fishes heaven as I watched. I did nt think that these gouramis had a mean streak to them but boy am I wrong. Does anyone else know of this type of behaviour with these fish as I dont know whether or not to replace the little blighter. both of them were identical in looks and am not sure whether or not they were males or females. Some advice please folks. do I replace or not.

In my experience, most Gourami's don't like each other very much, regardless of species or colouring. Mixing them can be done but due to problems i have expeienced, i keep 1 per tank now.

Yeh would want to put any more of the blighters thru what this one has just had to endure.
