bettas and gouramis

[<envisible at earthlink_net>]

anecdotally i have five male powder blue dwarf gouramis and one betta in a 20g
tank and they get along just fine except for a bit of posturing now and again.
 the key in part might be the number of anabantids - i started out with just
two gouramis and they fought each other quite a bit for dominance.  i think
with so many of them its hard for any of them to get a swelled head. i think
someone should breed these guys even smaller so you can just have a whole
bunch of them. they're pretty much the only bright blue fish outside of discus
and cichlids. i think of them as poor man's discus (PMD)
