HI there, this is my first post on this form and not quite sure how it works yet. Hope that some of you can help me though.
Yesturday, I brought 2 male Dwarf Gouramis and 1 wood shrimp (I am planning to get 3 more shrimp soon as they had low stock available at the time). Had looked into them slightly before buying them to see if they would be alright in my tank and assumed they would be alright together as in multiple YouTube videos they were kept together. They have been put in my 55l aqua one aspire tank ( as linked below) with 11 harlequin rasboras, 1 electric blue ram, 1 German blue ram and 2 yellow rabbit snails. They were great last night an during the day until I did a water change when I noticed both gouramis began to go through phases of chasing and nipping each other. The pet store said this might happen but they would get over it. This is my only tank and wanted them as ' centerpiece fish' as they are very beautiful and great to watch. They don't seem to be injuring each other at the moment, I just don't want thing to escalate.
The tank has been set up for almost 2 months and is running great with 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite and I am testing the water daily incase there is a change.
Can anyone help me please I woul be very greatful and has anyone experience this with gouramis and is there a way stop them or calm them down?
Will it get worse or even lead to death? What would u say to do?
Thank you for any replys
