75 Gallon Tank: New Dwarf Gourami's

68Gabe · March 25th, 2009

Hello,
Just want to find out if someone might know why my " Black Mollys and " Female swordtails " keep nipping at the Dwarf Gourami's.The Gourmai's have been in my tank for about one week. Also I have Septra Tetras that won"t leave the Gourami's alone either. These fish are really attacking the Gourami's fins up.
HELP!

It's most likely a territorial issue. The gouramis were added last and so they are the only fish in the tank who do not have a designated area. Try moving around the decor and creating a few more hiding spots and things should improve.

hi and welcome to fishlore

i'd try removing everyone but the dwarf gouramis from the tank first, and then moving the decorations around like MPrudent suggested. how many fish do you have in your tank?
