Hi guys,
I've been desperately trying to get a pair of sparkling gouramis. Was buying them from my local shop, but the owner seemed to be pretty bad at sexing them, so I ended up with 3 supposedly females, but can't tell their sex for sure. I believe I can see the ovaries in one of them (the biggest one, others look much younger). However, this "suspected" female is quite aggressive towards younger ones, chasing after them if they get into its territory.
I wonder if it's common for females to be territorial, or it's exclusively male behaviour and I ended up with 3 boys in a single tank?
