Envrionmental Factors
Temperature overlap
Emerald Dwarf Rasbora: 21.0–25.0 °C
Honey Gourami: 18.0–28.0 °C
Shared window: 21.0–25.0°C.
pH overlap
Emerald Dwarf Rasbora: 7.0–7.8
Honey Gourami: 6.5–7.5
Shared window: 7.0–7.5.
Hardness overlap
Emerald Dwarf Rasbora: Medium → Hard
Honey Gourami: Soft → Hard
Shared hardness bands: 2 (overlap ratio 100%).
Flow match
Emerald Dwarf Rasbora: Medium
Honey Gourami: Low
Flow preferences do not conflict directly (no low-vs-high clash).
Behavioural Factors
Predation risk (size ratio)
Adult size ratio: 2.00x
Size gap is between 2.0x and 3.0x, so monitor for dominance and mouth-fit risk.
Behaviour risk
- - Both species are generally peaceful; behaviour conflict risk is low.
