I called around today looking for stores that sold female Dwarf Gouramis, but no one carries them because they're "not as colorful" and don't sell well. All the research that I found pointed to Dwarf Gouramis becoming aggressive if you have multiple males with no females to court, so I changed up my plan a bit. I opted for an Angelfish to go along with the Dwarf Gourami for the "centerpiece" fish. Kim asked me if I told them that they had to stay in the center of the aquarium as I put them in the tank.
I can tell the Dwarf Gourami has a bit of an attitude already. He will go up to the Angelfish and stick out his bottom feelers as if he's touching it and saying - "Hey you - you lookin' at me?" He seems to leave all the other occupants alone, but here I caught him eyeing up a Ghost Shrimp.
So here's the tank fully stocked (although Kim keeps bugging me to get more African Dwarf Frogs). Elizabeth loves naming all the fish, and the new ones are Amy (the Angelfish) and Pretty Bucket (the Dwarf Gourami).
