Dwarf Gourami And Betta?

Could I keep a dwarf gourami and a betta together or will they fight with each other?

 

No. AWFUL idea.

 

DONT!!! They fight each other.I once saw a betta at petsmart with 30 gouramis. Fins ripped, flaring and stressed! I screamed at the employee and told her to take it out. She said later and i showed her what was happening and she took it out right away. DO NOT

 

maybe if you have a massive tank

 

I honestly wouldn't even risk it then...

 

im talking like 100 gallons

 

Still wouldn't risk it, if they met each other could not be fun.

 

Yeah I wouldn’t recommend it. I have seen them kept together in a pet store before but the Bettas fins were all tattered and it didn’t look good at all

 

@david1978 what do you keep with your betta in that 75 again

 

2 male betta
13 girl betta
12 glowlight tetras
9 emerald cories
1 pleco.
I had a dwarf gouromi for a short time but he just didn't seem like a good fit.

 

, thats cool! Heavily planted I bet?

 

Oh yea heavily planted and a bunch if big ornaments.

 

I have 2 honey gouramis and a betta and they get on fine they actually ignore each other.

 

Out of curiosity, is it a female betta? And what sized tank?

 

It’s a male betta and it’s 190 litre tank

 

Bettas and Gouramis are both from the suborder 'Anabantoidei' - putting them together would effectively be the equivalent of putting two Bettas together.
