I never ever heard of a Dwarf Gourami doing that... I have an Opline Gourami and I've never had major fin nipping or anything....Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:28:37 GMTFaithful Fishhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic231787-29-1.aspxA couple days ago I decided to get some new fish for my ten gallon. At the time it only had a guppy and a balloon-bellied molly. I heard a dwarf gourami was a good choice and I thought some schooling fish would make a nice touch so I got 3 neon tetras. but the next day I woke up to a dead guppy with ripped finnage and a neon tetra with its head bit off and eaten. So I ended up taking the half eaten neon tetra body and my cannibalistic dwarf gourami back to the pet store. The owner was surprised that a dwarf gourami did this so he took back the gourami and gave me 2 neon tetras, a guppy and another balloon-bellied molly. He figured the dwarf gourami felt crowded and insecure wiht all those little, fast-swimming fish. So now I have a grand total of 4 neon tetras, 2 balloon-bellied mollies and a guppy living peacefully together. I may get one more guppy later just to pair off my loner guppy. And my anubias plant has bite marks in it reminding me of my mistake. <img align="absmiddle" src="http://board.fishchannel.com/Skins/Aquarium/Images/EmotIcons/BigGrin.gif" border="0" title="BigGrin">Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:32:31 GMTwatercrazy08
