note: I have searched the web and cannot find anything saying smaller gouramis (~5 in) cannot be housed with snakeskin gouramis (~8-9 in)
I have a thriving 55 gallon tank several years old...
mostly peaceful fish: loaches, corydoras, ghost shrimp, danios, swordtails, plecos.
and some semi-aggressive fish: 1 gold, 1 platinum, 1 blue, 1 opaline gourami all females...
And I have been eyeing the bigger growing variety snakeskin gourami. From what little I have found on the internet, it is mostly non-aggressive in groups...
Would that mean adding a female snakeskin would be okay since I already have four other females that get along?
Or would the eventual size difference cause a commotion with bad outcomes for either my band of old gouramis or the snakeskin?
Thanks for any help
