Sparkling gourami and diamond tetra

[Nori]

I'm planning out a 29g community tank and I either want to focus on sparkling gouramis or diamond tetras. My thinking was that since the diamond tetra are larger than the gouramis that it wouldn't be the best idea to try to keep them together. Any thoughts/experience on keeping sparkling gourami with larger peaceful fish?

Hmmm...click the Fishlore links to both. It looks like the Diamond Tetra link has a video of a tank showing both together maybe?

Maybe someone else can confirm?

I checked the video out and the video description lists the stocking as diamond tetras, brilliant rasboras, dwarf gourami, corydoras, and otocinclus

Hi, Sparklers are best off as the largest fish in the tank IME. I've kept them in a community with Rasboras before but they where better off with the nano, CPDs I kept them with later on.
Some tetra can be quite boisterous and I believe Diamonds fall into that category.

Thanks for the confirmation. I think I may go with sparkling gourami in one of the smaller tanks I have laying around and then go with diamonds in the 29 gallon.
