Hello friends!~ (≧∇≦)ノ
I just bought two blue gouramis and I've noticed something for the past few days... One of the gouramis would chase the other. It became kinda normal and never really bothered me at first. But over time, the gourami kept chasing after it more and more. After a while, the gourami's stripes started getting darker.
I grew concerned about its health and I started researching about it. Some people on the websites were saying that gouramis can be territorial and sometimes chase or even nip after other fish. Somebody also said that moving the decorations around can help the territory problem, but I wanted to get some more advice first.
Is my gourami getting stressed? If so, could this be fatal? Should I separate the two gouramis?
My tank (so far): 20-gallon tank w/ 2 blue gouramis, 2 potbelly mollies & hornwort(s)
