Can Dwarf Emerald Rasbora (nanus) live with Pearl Gourami?
Caution — with care
Why
- Very different sizes (Pearl Gourami 4.5" vs Dwarf Emerald Rasbora (nanus) 0.7") — these two need different tanks, and the smaller fish will be out-competed at feeding time.
Sweet spot: both do well at 77–79°F and pH 6.5–7.5 — aim there.
