I have a couple of Gouramis that have been in my Tropical community for quite some time, but not sure what they are. I want to say the large blue one is a Paradise Blue Gourami. he/she is about 5-6" long and a pale blue color. The other one is a new addition to the 46 gal euro tank. I had it and another in a 10gal in my kitchen tank, but they were not getting along at all, and he gets along with everyone in this tank great. He is a camera hog though, and wants to be in the tank closest to wherever someone is at in the room... I know it is a Dwarf Gourami, but not sure of the name--help?? Disregard the floating plant..I replant it every night, and in the morning it is floating again... Maybe I need to strap a weight to it...

The first one is a three spot Gourami/blue Gourami the other is a Blue Paradise.

I knew one of them had Paradise in the name, just couldn't remember which one...

And they are aggressive later on. Better to only keep one of each of these.

I have had the blue Gourami in there for a little over 2 years and no sign of agression towards anyone.. The dwarf one is only about 6 mos. old (in terms of the tank..unsure of actual age) and is happy to be away from his friend.... So they will be fine together later on you are saying, or seperate them now??

You have really nice Gouramis, especially the Blue Paradise Gouramis :)

Thanks! I like them. They seem to have a pretty good personality, and like to follow me around the room as I move about.
