Bettas and gouramis? Bad mix. Both gonna wanna be top dog. You're asking for trouble unless you've got a massive tank with tons of cover.

From a biological standpoint, it's not ideal. Both species have similar territorial behaviors and can stress each other out. Consider more peaceful tankmates like neon tetras.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll skip the gourami and look into other options. Appreciate the input!
