I know everyone has their fish preferences, but I am a huge fan of
gouramis and think you made a great choice! I have 9 honey gouramis in my
75gal, and they are a lot of fun. They are a bit shy, but it is neat to
see them peaking out from their hiding place in the silk plants. They
love floating plants, so if you put a plastic plant in without its base
and let if float, your dwarf will probably hang out there.

I vote with your officemates -- keep the dwarf.

Dwarf Gouramis are peaceful shy fish - why not put some colourful
livebearers in instead of them.

thanks for the tips, it's only a fairly small aqaurium, I intend to take the
fish out when they get too big and take them back to the shop to substitute
for smaller fish. I didn't really want the dwarf gourami either, but the
weight of numbers was against me I'm afraid :-(
