Do you like honey or dwarf gouramis better?

I am deciding which to get and since they are the same size, I am having a hard time. Which one is prettier/ easy to care for in your opinion?

    I like Honeys best. Honey Gourami are a bit more peaceful, so they make better community fish. There are also some problems right now with Dwarf Gourami Iridovirus being pretty wide spread among Dwarf Gouramis. Honey Gouramis generally don't have that problem.

    I myself like honey gourami as i fidn the dwarf varitays markins to be to 'overthetop' however thats just how i feel. You can also go for a bright fire yellow or a lemony one. I also dont like the DG red and blue mix as i dont like those 2 colours together XD Alternativly if you could get your hands on a Dwarf Neon Blue Gourami that would be a winner !

    I think there both easy enough to care for and theres not much between them.

    Good luck anywho and eamil me if you need more help

    Honey Gouramis are smaller than Dwarves and for this reason greater appropriate for a small 35 litre tank. Honeys are additionally some distance fit than Dwarves on the 2d - Dwarves are riddled with their very own deadly Iridovirus (DGIV), that's totally confusing to locate a healthful batch!! choose for a Honey Gourami (and be careful to no longer mistake a Honey for a sundown Dwarf Gourami!).

    I don't think one is easier to take care of than the other, but I do think the colors in dwarf gouramis are gorgeous!
