Hello,
I am gradually stocking my 50-gallon bowfront, and today I purchased 3 female "Dwarf Flame Gouramis" to go with my two established males. However, when I got home, and I could see the new fish in better light, I can see faint stripes on ONE of the females. She isn't a Flame Gourami- she's a normal dwarf gourami. (The store had them all housed together.) I can see how they could be confused - the differences are very hard to detect. I don't really mind, but I was really trying to have a 3-2 ratio of females to males. Will this mess it up? I don't want the 2 poor female Flames harassed by my established males. (One of the females is quite tiny.) Should I try to replace the striped one with a real "Flame" female, or is my current one "close enough" in the male Flames's eyes to not bother? They are all Colisa lalia, aren't they? I am not interested in breeding them, but I wanted to establish some interactive pairs. Thanks for any info, - Lisa in Central CA |
