The name Three-spot Gourami at first seems a bit of a mystery. This fish actually only has two spots, the third spot is generally considered to be the eye!
Tracey Bassett - 2004-06-23 I have 3 dojo loaches, 5 red eye tetra, 4 desert rainbow fish, 1 Australian rainbow fish, 2 blue gouramis, 2 guppies, and a sucker fish all in a 30 gallon tank. They all get along great. My gouramis are both males and are about 3 inches in length. They chase each other, but no harm is done.
Peregrine - 2003-08-19 The Blue or also three-spot gourami is a brilliant fish. I currently kept a small male in a ten gallon with two corydoras catfish, one butterfly pleco and one common pleco who will be moved to a fifty five gallon pretty soon. My gourami gets along pretty well with the other fish but sometimes he does get a little nippy, reminding the corydoras that he is the ruler. :) ha! ha! A very beautiful, hardy, interesting fish that fish keepers should try out after they have got the hang of the hobby.
