The Honey Gourami - Great Centrepiece Fish for the Small Aquarium

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

I use this fish in lieu of Betas for getting that stunning pop of color without the aggression.

Has anyone kept them with silvertip tetra? I have a 220l (90x55x45cm) to stock and I love the more rambunctious tetra (I currently have flames and skirt tetra in another 220l), but I'm worried they might be a bit too boisterous for these delicate beauties.

I think Silver Tips may just drive them into hiding but I have never tried it. With those feelers, best to keep Gouramis away from nippy fish.

@droeksonfishkeeping thanks for responding. I was concerned for those reasons!

Can they live with red cherry shrimp in a planted tank

[@droeksonfishkeeping]

I have no experience with shrimp and Honey Gouramis so it may or may not be fine. If I had to guess the adults would probably be fine but they will eat the shrimplets.

I have two with my cherry shrimp adults fine but just like my neons if their small enough they will eat babies but my tank well planted so most hide well

@@droeksonfishkeeping I kept one in a nano tank for a while with shrimp and I never saw much aggression towards the shrimp, and even when it tried the adults just teleported away.
