Golden Gourami attacking Little Gouramis

[mimi13chan]

Today i bought two Platnium Gouramis and my Golden Gourami is chasing them down.. =(
Why i she doing this?
When will she stop?
I don't wnat to separate her form the tank because I don't have a anouther tank

- My tank is a 10gal. tank

In my experience Golden gourmais dont like other gouramis. I have two, one is 3-4 times larger than the other and it always chases and attacks the smaller. This has resulted in the smaller constantly hiding except to come out for food. I also HAD a platinum gourami that the golden harassed so much that it died. You probably need to make a choice between your plats and your golden. Word of advice: The golden may quickly grow out of a ten gallon.

Hmm

I don't have a extra tank like many others so what should i do about the two babies. She won't stop attacking them and their tails.

Maybe get a divider or a floating isolation unit. Or you could always return them.

I know what its like not to have a extra tank, I have two spare ones but no where to put them, so I may as well not have them at all. Anyway like fishboy said you could return the other two or maybe trade in the golden and perhaps get fish credit so you can get a fish that will get along with the smaller gouramis. =)
