Question
Hi

I dont know if you could answer my question but would like to if you can.I have a 20 gallon freshwater tank and want to put some community fish.I want to know if i can put gourami's in the tank,and which other fish i can put in....!!!

Please help thanks

Answer
You can put some dwarf gouramis in, but be warned that you want to do this harem style, one male to several females.  Otherwise, you run the risk of some picking amongst themselves.  You can add a small school (5-7) tetras. Avoid fin-nippers such as barbs. You can add a pleco or a couple corydora catfish to finish out the tank.
