    Default gourami started bullying a pulling plants

    Hi
    I have 10 gallon tank with live plants and 3 gourami 3 Red wag platy 2 barbs. All the fish were getting along well. My gourami started bullying other fish about few days ago and pulling plants. Is there any particular reason for this behavior?
    Thanks

    Yes there is, You are overstocked. I'd wager these are dwarf gourami?

    10g is nowhere near large enough for 3 DG, They can be very territorial and aggressive to other DG.

    You have some rehoming [Or a much MUCH larger tank] ahead of you as this is not going to get any better.

    You answered your own question, you have 3 gouramis in a 10G.

    Also for future reference, there's this thing that's now on the internet that's simply amazing, it allows you to learn all about your individual fish and their needs etc, you should look it up, its called 'Google'

    My therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .

    YVW - Right you are, Maturity is what is happening, Somebody is making a territorial claim and a 10G lacks the real estate for others to get out the way.

    This man speaks the truth. Many times the fish you see at the fish store are babies/juveniles. As they hit sexual maturity their temperaments can drastically change.
