[edit] Environment Specifics
- Prefer a spacious tank with not too much current. Can be shy so need places to hide. Gouramis have labyrinth organs for breathing air from the surface, which means they need a tank with at least some space of air at the top. They usually inhabit the upper levels of the aquarium, although they frequently search the bottom of the tank looking for food pieces.
[edit] Behaviour
- A peaceful Gourami that can be kept in a community tank with other peaceful similar sized tank mates.
[edit] Identification
- A pretty and small Gourami, a similar shape to the common Dwarf Gourami, with long ventral 'feelers'. The body is coloured a deep ochre colour, can be more of a pale yellow, whereas the dorsal, caudal and anal fins are a deep orange.
