Why do they just stand still in the water? I have never seen such
non-aggressive fish.

Some are some are not..........most species of gourami do not like
their own kind of the same sex, but usually their behavior is not as
bad as say a Betta.

So a gourami sister does not get along with it's sister, and a brother
won't get along with it's brother?
That's interesting.

Fish as well as most animals do not recognize sisters, brothers,
mothers fathers sons daughters as that when it comes to its natural
environment. As far as say a Beta is concerned that other male betta
is an enemy even if it was the bettas son or daddy..same with "some"
gourami's.however the female sex seems to be more peacefull among its
own kind than most males do in general.

Gouramis can get very agressive .. I even had a moonlight gourami that was a
complete terror...he wanted nothing gourami around him. Other fish were
fine in his presence, but he made absolutely sure I moved his mates.
