three Orange ,two Pearl,and one Opaline Gourami the large Orange male seems two dominate the rest he swims around the tank while the rest seem to hang in one of the corners together.Is this normal behaviour?
Answers:
yea its normal..they always establish dominance but they should start to get along more in a little while once the alpha fish knows that the other fish kno hes the boss.if matters dont improve get rid of the dominant fish and maybe that will help things out
The pearl gourami are very mild mannered for gourami. The same with Opaline, but not as bad. I'm assuming that the orange gourami are 3 spot gourami. (The 3rd spot is the eye.) They are fairly aggressive, but should be okay. The real thing to watch out is if the dominate male pairs up with a female gourami. In which case the pair will become very aggressive. Do you have enough hiding spaces, and cover in your tank.
It is possible that it is looking for breeding room. rearrange your tank to stop the behaviour (at least temporarliy).
