Giving Larry Friends

[Zac]

Hey all,

I’d like to put some Cory’s into my tank with Larry my opaline gourami. However I’m a bit hesitant because he’s been very aggressive towards his own reflection. Like…really aggressive. This is pretty new behavior I’ve noticed over the past week or so. He’s really healthy though. He’ll still eat and stuff but he’s always at the same spot throwing hands with his reflection. He’s by himself right now in a 29 gallon planted tank with snails and a couple Amano shrimp.

My worry is that if I add cory cats he’ll start acting aggressive towards those guys.

What are your thoughts?

if he's not messing with the shrimp, id give fairly good odds he will be fine with some cory's.
