Hello.
I am seriously thinking of adding pearl gouramis to my 50 gal tank. Thanks to ProudPapa I know that I need at least 4. My biggest concern is aggression towards my littler fish (Ember Tetras) if/when they breed. So my questions are as follows.
1. How easily do these breed?
2. Can I keep just males or would this be an issue? Would it be better to have all females? I really am not looking forward to managing any babies.
3. I also have Oto cats and I have read that they might be aggressive toward them at breeding too, although I know they stay hidden really well. Is that the case?
4. Would I be better off just waiting until I can have a different tank set up for specific species? If so, what size tank and how many should I keep to make them the happiest (within reason, of course).
Thank you.
