I just got 2 male dwarf gouramis. I currently have 2 10gallon tanks set up. I just had a bunch of fish get wiped out by ich so I'm in a re-stocking phase. I had 5 fish total survive the outbreak, they are currently divided between my tanks. In 1 tank I have 3 peppered cories, and in the other tank I have 2 sunburst platies. Both tanks have a mystery snail, but that doesn't matter.
I'm tempted to put 1 dwarf gourami in each tank. They're both male so I'm not concerned about breeding. I know males can be a bit territorial if they need to be.
What do others think? Am I better off keeping them together in 1 tank, or putting 1 in each? I know I shouldn't think this way, but something about having 1 of a species in a tank makes me think they would get lonely. I've never had gouramis before, so I haven't had a lot of experience with their behavior.
