gourami mean mean fish

Oh I downloaded this OE quote fix (got to see if I can figure it out now)

With my 2 year old blue gourami I have two little blue gourami's and the 1
kissing gourami who has been living with the blue gourami's for over a month
now, in the last few days I noticed he is really bugging my 2 year old blue
gourami, he never did before, now he is kissing /sucking on the Blue
gourami's side, he just don't want to leave him alone, he is much younger
and smaller so you would think he would not continue to be such a pain, I
guess if he does not stop I will have to get rid of him, I did ask my
neighbor if she wanted him and she said she would take him, she has a full
grown pl*co in a 55 by him self which she wants to put in my 120g tank
because when he is straight up and down (top to bottom) in the 55g he dont
have enough room he is a monster, I have not decided yet if I will, but she
said if I needed to I could put Mr. kissing gourami in her tank with him.
Any chance he will stop or is it better to remove him, I don't see no marks
or anything on my blue gourami like he is being injured but he is defiantly
being annoyed.

My experience is that once they start being a pain, they will continue
to be a pain. Unless the behavior is because of mating.

I've had to remove all gouramies from my community tank. I've had
various blue and opaline gouramies get a wild hair up their butts. Once
they do, they seem to pick on anything and everything, even eachother.

I have had a good deal of success with one treatment. Isolate the
offender for a few weeks. Then reintroduce him to the others. In many
cases this can help. I've even just moved them to another tank with
other fish. That has helped also.

Maybe before getting rid of him i will try and put him out of the tank for a
couple weeks, i do like him, just not so much that my blue gets
stressed...Its a all gourami tank w/ 1 pl*co, i dont have any other tanks he
would *fit* in, I dont think the female bettas would like him, and the
goldfish tank is to cold, and he might eat my guppies....i got a couple 10g
in the basement he could hang out in for a while.
thanks

If it continues I would remove him. It may just be me but it bothers me to
see one fish being picked on by another until it stresses.... that stresses
me out!

The only gouramis I don't recall ever having a problem with were the pearls.
They left the other fish alone and even the females are pretty.

Hi Nikki -
It's going after the slime coat - starts out harmless but doesn't end
up that way - like those SAEs, once they get started, there is no
stopping them.......... Frank
