Well originally my Dwarf Gourami was the bully in the tank. He would relentlessly chase the Angel and the other gourami. Well it would seem that the other Gourami (I think it's Opaline, but I just got given a camera for my b'day so I'm going to take some pics when I get home and post them for ID but I'm fairly certain it's an Opaline) anyway it would seem that due to him growing a huge amount in the last three weeks - the opaline Gourami became much bigger and when I got home on Saturday arvo after being out all day I couldn't find the Dwarf. Well I finally found him resting on the java fern. I picked him up and put him in the breeding net in the same tank but he died a few hours later :(. He looked like he had internal bleeding cause his gills were all red on one side. So the moral of the story - don't pick on someone who will grow bigger than you!!!
