Volition my gouramis stop fighting if I put in more of them?

I only recently got three three spot gouramis, ane of each variety, for my 55 gallon. I believe the bluish one is a male since its dorsal fin is very long. I am not too sure almost the gold and the opaline. I'm afraid they might exist all males, since a day later on I put them in the tank, they began chasing each other and charging one another. They especially like to gang up on the gold i. Volition putting in some females or simply more gouramis help out with the aggression? Will they calm downwardly subsequently a while? Or should I return them?

If the aggression does not settle downward in a solar day or two I would return them. JMHO.

I think it'd make it worse. 3 spots are pretty aggressive from my feel and fifty-fifty females will bully their tankmates.

Expert morning,
Sorry to hear that your fish aren't getting along. I concur with the above posters and would non add any others. Too, I would suggest that but 1 Gourami per tank be considered.
All-time of luck!

Aye I agree with Ken and the others, only i would be best. About the just gourami that does well with others is the pearl gourami, i male and two females would work very well in your 55 gal.

Yep. Pearls are the only gouramis that do well in groups (although chocolates and honeys exercise okay besides). Otherwise, gouramis, being related to bettas, also contain that aggressive gene and would fight amongst themselves. Adding more wouldn't practise besides much skilful.

I take 2 Opaline and they go along really well. They do chase each other effectually occasionally, but more in a playful way, not in a hateful way. The larger one(I think is male) volition chase the smaller(I think this one is female person), but peradventure that's why they get along. I've been told 2 male person, or two female person will not work and they will not become along.

Why are pearl g. docile and others not?

I've kept multiple pearls together, and they practise but fine. I've never had whatsoever luck with multiple dejection ( or any of the morphs ). They get pretty rotten with their own kind. From what I've seen ( I tried information technology ) if yous put more two in, it will only be a battle of attrition. In the end yous will still end up with only one.

I have 2 Opaline and they go along actually well. They do chase each other around occasionally, but more than in a playful way, not in a hateful way. The larger one(I recollect is male person) will chase the smaller(I call back this one is female), but mayhap that's why they get along. I've been told 2 male, or 2 female volition not work and they will not get along.
Keeping a male person and female in a large tank is the only way to go along 2 together.

Blue gourami's are very difficult to go along together. I use to breed them and I kept them like bettas. You tin can become docile ones though. I had a sorority of docile females for a long time simply the rest of the fish, males and females, I kept individually with snails or shrimp as tankmates. They will tolerate other fish though, like cories, angelfish, barbs, ect ect.

When I had a blue, she was calm and peaceful for months in her tank with a couple of smaller fish. So one day, she just suddenly became very aggressive and wouldn't leave the other poor fish alone. Golds are fifty-fifty worse. Best not to take them together unless you have a fill-in programme.

Aye I agree. IMO its all-time to keep, if your keeping together, blues with other blues and golds with other golds and aforementioned for the opaline.

In my feel, gouramis are nasty unless you have just one. I'll never do multiples of any blazon of gourami again. I learned my lesson.

So they accept established their petty bureaucracy. The blue male is at the tiptop, the gold is in the middle, and the opaline one is at the bottom. They become along when its feeding time, but when information technology seems that they go too close to ane another or they invade their claimed "levels" (the blue 1 claimed the eye, the gold the lesser, and the opaline the acme), that'south when they start fighting.
My LFS has a huge tank with large schooling species similar tinfoil barbs and unlike types of sharks and plecos. It also has a really large Chinese Algae eater and the three types of Trichogaster trichopterus. I observed them for a while and they don't even seem to notice each other. They are also enormous.
Are Gouramis more than peaceful in the presence of larger or more aggressive fish?

I don't think and then, it depends on the gourami too. Nigh of the ones I've seen were males put in the aforementioned tank, and they were fighting horribly.
