Im adding sparklers to my twenty gal. I wanted to do four of them but I am hesitant to add them all at once since it will greatly raise the bioload. If i were to add two now and two later would there be any issues with the newer ones trying to establish territories since the other two already have theirs? I have never kept gouramis so i dont know much about how territorial they are. Want some advice. The tank has plenty of hiding room.

Your best off doing all at once so they can all get established and in pecking order. I would be sure to start with babies or juvenal's. By the way your tank is absolutely beautiful. How many gallons?

Ok I will pick up two more today, as I added two yesterday, I am sure a day of difference won't be an issue. Thank you! it is a 20 gallon.
 
They are quite small when juvenile so I doubt bioload will be an issue. Enjoy the occasional croak :)
 
Hi!
It looks like a great set up for them. You have plenty of hiding spots for the sparklers. They like poking in and out plants and roots.

You'll love them!
