| − | + | {{Basic fish page | |
| − | = | + | |origin=:Found in dense vegetation in slow moving streams, rivulets and lakes in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. |
| − | :Found in dense vegetation in slow moving streams, rivulets and lakes in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. | + | |sexing=:Female is silver with hardly any colour whereas the male is more vividly coloured with more pointed and elongated finnage. |
| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:Does well in a peaceful community set up with fish such as [[Neon Tetra]], [[Harlequin Rasbora]], [[:Category:Corydoras|Corydoras]] etc. However, do not keep a mix of Gourami species together, nor keep Dwarf Gourami with other [[anabantoid]]s such as [[Betta splendens]] as this will bring out their aggressive side. Also, do not keep with other aggressive species such as Cichlids, nor fin nippers such as [[Tiger Barbs]]. It is not recommended to keep more than just one gourami in a tank. Even two females can give each other trouble. | |
| − | + | |diet=:Omnivore. Not fussy, will take [[flake]], [[bloodworm]], [[glass worm]], [[brine shrimp]] and even [[catfish pellets]]. | |
| − | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. | |
| − | :Female is silver with hardly any colour whereas the male is more vividly coloured with more pointed and elongated finnage. | + | |environment_specifics=:Provide this fish with a matured spacious tank with a good combination of open swimming space and tall plants in which to hide. Does not appreciate a strong current. |
| − | + | |behaviour=:Male becomes territorial, develops a deep purple chest and flares up its dorsal fin when floating plants when a female is introduced. Otherwise it's an excellent community fish. | |

:Gouramis, like [[Betta]]s are a [[labyrinth]] fish, in that they have a special organ that allows them to breathe air. So they can survive in low oxygenated water. If they are not allowed access to the air then they drown. | :Gouramis, like [[Betta]]s are a [[labyrinth]] fish, in that they have a special organ that allows them to breathe air.
