So i'v had my tank set up for about five months and all seemed to be going well, i have two gourami (both male) in there and have for a while, they've always chased each other around a bit when they breached the others territory, but have never actually hurt each other however recently the smaller of the two has been getting banged up, he's hiding all the time and never comes out. I want to put one of them into a seperate tank, but im not sure which one to move, or what to do with one of them after the hurt one is healthy. I don't really know anyone i can give a fish too and i can't afford a whole nother permenant tank for one fish.
My mum thinks if i rearange the decorations so the cover is more even (on the right there is lots of leaves to hid in up the top of the tank and on the left there is a big loggy thing with lots of sheleter down the bottom ) they will go back to not bothering each other.
Previous to this they adopted serperate sides of the tank, (it's a 130L tank).

I don't have the other tank set up yet, if i transfer most of the original tank water into the other tank how long do i have to run it before i can move the fish into it without dying.?

I had two dwarves in the same tank & one eventually killed the other.
I would either remove it to a cycled tank, or sell it back to a LFS.

You could just divide the current tank... then you wouldn't need another heater and filter.

how do i divide it??

you can either buy a pre-made divider (i know they sell them at petsmart) for the size tank that you have, or you can make one pretty simply and cheaply.

Creating a tank divider?
