Hi, I have a cycled 20 gallon high with 2 30g filters. I am working on stocking it, and I am interested in gold/blue gouramis. I am planning on putting a gold or blue gourami in with 5 gold barbs. Could this work? Sent from my KFASWI using Fish Lore Aquarium Fish Forum mobile app
The tank isn't big enough for the blue/gold gouramis, so no, sorry. I think the gold barbs are a little too big for a 20 gal high too. They get around 3" and are active swimmers. Would you consider a smaller species?
What size tank could I keep the gourami by itself? What would happen if I kept one in a 20g? Sent from my KFASWI using Fish Lore Aquarium Fish Forum mobile app
A 40 gal would be a great tank size for one, or a 30 gal with a 36" length. If you kept it in a 20 gal high, it would be cramped, aggressive, and unhappy.
