Dwarf Gourami

[Chewyrat77]

I currently have 10 mollies/platies/variatus in my 125 with a dwarf gourami. Do you think it's a big enough tank to get away with adding one or two more gouramis?

I definitely think so. I would recommend making sure it has a bits of plants. I would be more worried about getting the dwarf gourami disease. I would say it would be best to get locally bread gouramis. But that may be hard so yeah. I prefer honey gourami to dwarf gouramis, because they are more calm and don´t carry the disease.

You have plenty of room. Sex your gourami, males can be quite territorial towards eachother.

Definitely you want to get the right sex. You want a good ratio.

Does the dwarf gourami disease only affect the dwarf gouramis or if this happens will it affect my mollies/platies/variatus?

I am not sure, I know other fish can get it but am not sure about your mollies/platies/variatus. I think you could research that pretty easily or I am sure people here know.
