    Hi all, i was advised that this is a good forum to learn so hear I am:) I started my 200L tank a couple of months ago.
    At this stage I have 3 Mollys, 6 neon tetra, 2 moonlight gouramis and 2 dwarf gouramis. The gouramis all came from the same tank as the person was changing from tropical to marine. Since obtaining them I have read that it is not wise to have those 2 varieties of gouramis together as they tend to fight. Am I going to have problems at a later stage.

    Hi and welcome.

    Do you know what types of gouramis they are?
    Some species tend to be calmer (Pearl, dwarf) than others( in my experience)

    Welcome to the hobby ;) What size is your tank...and do you have a lot of hardscape and plants in there (to break line of sight)

    A picture will be worth a thousand words ;)

    Should be ok.
    But keep an eye.

    Any chance of a photo?

    Is your tank well planted, that could help with any potential issues - places for fish to hide etc.
