No you can not have them together they will fight.

CaliforniaFishkeeper

fight is an understatement. They would rip one another to shreds.

Calmwaters

Yes that is a better way to put it. They would fight just like two bettas together would.

ok it was just an idea, thanks for your help :)

How big is your tank? You could put community type fish in there if you like. I have a male and a female and have no proplems with them they use to be in a 20 gallon with neons and peacock gudgeons, now they are in the 55 gallon with these fish as well as golden barbs, 2 types of corys, harliguin rasbora and rosy red minnows.

Amanda is right. Check the profile of the Honey Gourami, it tells you about tank sizes and numbers.

I have 3 honey gouramis in my tank now. They dont fight each other at all. With enough plants and hiding spots they will be fine. They are abit shy some times.

mines not shy ...if i walk past the tank he follows me...:):):)
