Hello everyone, this is my first time posting on this forum as I’m usually on Reddit.
i have a 30 gallon that’s nicely filtered and planted, my setup isn’t anything crazy but this is my 2nd ever tank besides my main one. I have a decent amount of experience with regular common live bearers such as mollies, platy, guppies, etc.
but in this tank I have a thriving community of neons tetras, rummy nose, tiger barbs, kulli loach, snails etc. I haven’t had any problems or concerns with the tetras and all as I’m quite familiar with their behaviour and patters. Though today I have added 4 gouramis to the tank as I wanted to try something new. I buy all my fishes from the same one store near my house that’s owned by an old couple who have had it since 1982, well experienced people and they told me it should be fine, gouramis do get somewhat bossy but other than that the interaction between the communal fishes and gouramis is fine.
but I’m just a bit unsure of what to understand from the gourami behaviour, I have 4 in total,
-3 gold
-1 opaline
It’s a 3:1 ratio female:male to I’m not worried about male on male aggression. Though I notice they still chase each other, not really any hard biting but literally just chasing each other ever so often. The tank is fairly new but has been well cycled, the fishes aren’t showing any sign of water related problems. It’s jsut the agression.
is this maybe because it’s the first day, or possibly something else? Again I’m not to sure as these are my first step into the real of bigger fish.
any advice or feed back is great!
****Tank is cloudy due to water clarifier that I had added****
Thanks👍
