I have 5 gourami fish, blue and gold. The two blue gourami are bigger than the 3 small gold gourami. I also have 1 kissing fish, a small pleco and a beta. What other fish can I put in with them that are non agressive? Thanks@

At this point, I wouldn't suggest any. The kissing gourami get up to a foot long, and if the pleco is a common pleco, they can be 18". They may be small now, but soon you'll need a bigger tank just for these.
I'd also be caseful keeping the betta with gouramis - the fish are related and somewhat aggressive with each other - yours may get along, but if the gourami are small, once they mature they'll become territorial (esp. the males).

i would find a better home for the kissing gourami and pleco. kissing gourami grow to 12" and plecos even bigger.
the gold gourami are just a different color of the same fish as the blue gourami and will get as big as the blue. maybe you could add a small school of rasboras or a bunch of ghost shrimp.

in case you do no longer want genders that are over-dominant, you ought to stay remote from all livebearers; guppies, platies, mollies, swordtails. The adult males for all of those are very annoying on the ladies human beings, lots so as that the ladies human beings want a intense quantity ratio whilst in comparison with the adult males or their wellness could go through. I recommend getting a school of 6 backside dwellers like Corydoras Catfish (6 of one species) and then 8 of a mid or top living education fish. some spectacular Catfish suggestions are Albino Cories, Peppered Cories, Panda Cories, or Julii Cories. in case you may extremely have a non-catfish backside dweller you will be able to additionally attempt 6 Kuhli Loaches. Any of those species have compatibility with each and every of the mid/top living fish i'm itemizing. some non violent top/mid living fish are Dwarf Pencilfish, Flame Tetras, Glowlight Danios, Marbled Hatchetfish (whether they bounce with loud noises), Turquoise Danios, Neon or Cardinal Tetras, Harlequin Rasboras, Rummynose Tetras, or Zebra Danios. those are all non violent education fish that must be very pleased in a team of 8. in case you opt for one species from each and every type, you would be properly stocked. That sand isn't meant for freshwater tanks, it comes with creatures that stay in salt water and could extremely wreak havoc on a clean water aquarium.

I personally love live bearers such as mollies, swordtails, platies, and guppies. Or a cheep, but hardy, fish to try is zebra danios. All these fish are very non-aggressive. Good luck!

Any type of molly, platy, guppy or danio will be fine. These are all very hardy, peaceful fish and won't have any trouble co-existing with the fish you have.

I raise fish for a living and here are some breeds you can try:
Angel fish, tetras, plattys, mollies, sword fish, discus ( they are really expensive but are pretty and last long), and goldfish.
Hope this helped.

You think a betta's non aggressive? Dang. Maybe try bubble eyed goldfish or scavenger sharks.
