He is the undisputed ruler of the tank, and doesn't hesitate to chase after and nip any fish that forgets it. He charges over and flares at anyone who looks into the tank, which is both amusing and a good way for guests to get a look at him. He's quite content in his role of "tank king" and it's very funny to watch the other fish give him a wide berth wherever he goes. I'd love to get another one, but I think I'd have to find one of these "shy, timid" types in order for them to get along!

It occasionally eats a flake that falls down to the bottom. Im concerned and when i put in brine shrimp, it didnt even notice it. Any suggestions? My gourami doesnt eat very well.

I can only speak from experience, but my gold gourami is the most timid fish in my tank. How many male/female mollies do you have? That might have something to do w/ it. You said you have 15 fish. Are the other fish smaller? The tank isn't crowded? I wouldn't think tank conditions.. ph, nitrate, etc. would change if a fish is aggressive or not. Is your gourami healthy? Eating ok..etc? Try rearranging everything in the tank. You may have to isolate the bully fish if things don't work, and you're able to. Hope some of those suggestions help. Mike Hi Steve,

I have a Blue Gourami and a 4 Mollies. Recently the Molly has been biting the Gourami and the Gourami tries to swim away but eventually gives up. It happens all the time, not just during feeding time. I checked the ph, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia and the filters. All were fine the only unusual thing was some fungus that I got rid of after the attacks start but they are still going on. Is it possible that one of the Mollies is pregnant or can you think of anything. What should I do? steve Hi have a 40 gal tank with about 15 fish. I have a Blue Gourami and a 4 Mollies.

Sounds like they may have already been sick? Some fish stores have a 15 day return policy in the states if the fish dies. They do go through a bunch of stress. Mike Hi Tayne,

How long after you bought the fish did they die? Sounds like they may have already been sick? Some fish stores have a 15 day return policy in the states if the fish dies. They do go through a bunch of stress.
