Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Honey Sunset Gouramis

Can I replace a DG with this. Are they about the same size? Smaller or Larger? Are they peaceful? Thanks Guys!

I just googled and found a few pages that all agree adult size = 2.5" so the same as DG. The first one I read called them peaceful, but males can be aggressive defending their brood--that's pretty much all gourami though.

I think the DG and H/S are probably interchangeable if you're still in the planning phase of your livestock.

On a personal note, those are some beautiful fins on the H/S gourami. Here's a site with info and a video: http://www.fishdeals.com/anabantids/...unset_gourami/

I had the Honey sunset dwarf gourami's before and found them very peaceful and yes, they are smaller than the D.Gourami but they all should get along..

I have a honey sunset gourami, and they are smaller than a regular dwarf. They are peaceful with most fish except another male honey sunset. I have never attempted another dwarf with him, nor do I want to chance it. They will most likely not get along with other gouramis or bettas!
