Mybird,
thats very unusual and I assure you it is not the norm
in dwarf gourami behaviour.
I could post you about 50+ links that state keeping them in
groups of mixed sex is fine.
However, just like any kind of animal, there are always exceptions
to the rule.
Yours is that exception.
In a similar situation, I know at least a dozen people who keep pencilfish, a small, peaceful schooling fish.
Always peaceful, always calm, never aggressive towards each other
or other fish. But I have one friend who had a pencilfish go crazy and
it killed all the other pencils and a couple of tetras too. It just shows how just like us humans, animals vary in personality from individual to individual.
