{{Basic fish page<br />
|origin=:Found in dense vegetation in slow moving streams, rivulets and lakes in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.<br />
|sexing=:Female is silver with hardly any colour whereas the male is more vividly coloured with more pointed and elongated finnage. <br />
|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.<br />
|diet=:Omnivore. Not fussy, will take [[flake]], [[bloodworm]], [[glass worm]], [[brine shrimp]] and even [[catfish pellets]].<br />
|feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day.<br />
|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.<br />
|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.<br />
<br />
: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.<br />
|identification=:A small oval-shaped fish with long ventral fins. The body colour varies as many variants have now been bred. The wild-type is red/orange in base colour with many vertical iridescent blue bands down the body. The fins are orange and speckled with blue iridescent spots.<br />

== Special notes ==<br />
*This fish is prone to bacterial infections, constipation and [[Hole in the Head]] problems. So regular water changes are essential. This fish is usually not in good condition when seen in the pet shop.<br />
<br />
*Currently most of the ''Trichogaster lalius'' are arriving in pet shops with a virus (Dwarf Gourami Iridovirus ([[DGIV]])) in them. This causes lethargic behaviour, darken of colour, tumours and death within a year. This virus is also believed to infect other fish like [[Swordtail]]s and [[Molly]]s, possibly some Cichlids. There is no treatment for this virus.<ref>[http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/content.php?sid=1108 PFK Article: Aquarium trade may have spread Gourami virus]<br />
