Dwarf Gouramis

I have had some beautiful dwarf gouramis, however they all died fairly quickly. I have done some reading and found that there is a dwarf gourami disease. It seems there is a bacteria that many commercially breed gouramis are susceptible to. I would love to get some again due to their beautiful coloring however I do not want to keep wasting money. After one attempt at stocking my tank with some dwarf gouramis I lost half my tank to what was most likely a bacterial infection. That hurt. We lost some really nice fish and a big investment. Was it the gouramis? I don't know but I am not willing to try again.

Dwarf gourami habbitat and breeding

I have seen dwarf gouramies and thier nests in the wild in Chennai, India. The waters very weedy(fox tail and hydrilla). I have bred and raised them.
