Dwarf Gouramis

[Dowensj8]

Can I keep a male dwarf Gouramis alone or do I need in a pair or trio?

 

[Crispii]

You can keep DGs alone.

It is actually preferred to keep them alone. Dwarfs can be downright nasty to other male dwarfs. Finding a female is, unless you live outside the North-American continent, very difficult.

I keep mine alone. I've heard people keeping male/female pairs in larger tanks (55+ gallons).

But never keep two males together.

Best kept alone they can be particularly nasty with others of their own kind. Buttheads to other species sometimes too but that's up to the individual for what's what
