Urgent decision being made.

[Tednol]

hey.
I have a 15g(U.S), 12g(U.K) , 24 inch tank ,
I have kept some gourmais but not too well, i have had 5 deaths i the past few months,
I now have 3 female gouramis together that are fighting (hence URGENT decision)
I also have
3 otos
2 corys

What else can i put in there?

Apart from tetras because i know that

thanks in advance

I suggest swordtails, as they are colorful,playful, and reproduce. Very fun to sit and watch them. You can also put platies, mollies, german rams, really alot of stuff.

female gouramis fight??

You sure they're females
It's normally the males that fight. Unless they're Dwarfs or Honey's the males usually have longer fins and are a bit slimmer.
If your really worried you could ask your lfs if they will change them or something.
Any of the livebearers would be ideal. Pencil fish are nice as well but often overlooked

I hear Danios are nice!

I've had females in the past and they fight just as much as males if not worse. The fighting isn't going to stop with the addition of new fish and I don't recommend getting mollies either, because when it comes to feeding time there will be some nasty fin nipping. I was just wondering how big the gouarmis are. As usually a small school of them i.e. 3 aren't comfortable unless in a 50 gal tank. 35 and less and there is scraping. What I found helped before I had to eventually return the fish was placing a few tall plants throughout the aquarium not directly beside the glass and the fighting grew less and less but never eventually did spot. They get along well with cories and white skirts.

You should buy more Otos and Corys, as both are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of 4, preferably more.

they DO fight
bite each other!
And i have 3

i am going to get some more otos, and just thinking of other fish to put in there.

Thankfully my two female Pearls are content with just 'kissing' when they fight. I'm waiting until I get my pair of Moonlights to see what happens. (If they're slightly bigger, maybe they'll make the dominant Pearl behave. *mutters*)

As for actually on topic...my Pearls have been with nothing else other than bottom feeders, so I wouldn't be able to help you there.
