Assorted Gourami

Assorted Color Gouramis

The Gourami fish, from the genus Trichogaster, are a peaceful, fun breed of fish, whose origins can be traced to the South China Sea. The best living arrangement for these fish is in a 20 gallon tank or larger which contains live plants, rocks and driftwood for hiding places. Tank mates should be of similar size and temperament. If you are interested in using a schooling fish for a Gourami tank, then you are best to use fish such as Barbs in large numbers.

They are also omnivores and will thrive on algae as well as meaty foods, such as flying bugs, larvae in your pond and supplement feeding bloodworms if in an aquarium.
