Ive got a month and a half old 29 gallon with 1 popa guppy and about 20 fry, 5 habrosus corys, and 7 fork tailed blue eyes. Plus 4 and counting cherry shrimp.what else is in the tank? dunno bout telling the diff i aint a gourami man but i've got some honeys and they are nice, don't bother anything heard some gouramis can be a bit aggressive
T. pumila has a single line and spots, the other Trichopsis have three lines. All three species croak.
In my experience, 6 would be a better option.
They are, but not to the same extent. Try to make sure you get no more than one or two males. The similar looking species (T. schalleri), with the three lines, may be more aggressive though, they definitely grow larger as well.So the Males are not territorial like other Gouramis?In my experience, 6 would be a better option.
Sparkling gouramis do it rarely, mainly when breeding, in my experience.And how often do they seem to croak?
Kitty Kat pretty much hit the nail on the head.
T.vittatus & T. schalleri will both grow to double the size of T.pumila and are considerably more territorial than T.pumila
No; the males have a lot more colour in the fins when mature, females tend to stay quite drabKitty Kat pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Thank you all very much for the answers.
Do female Sparklers have similar coloration as the males? I know their dorsals are rounded opposed to pointed.
Ok, so 6 because while they do not school, they feel more comfortable with more of their species?T. pumila has a single line and spots, the other Trichopsis have three lines. All three species croak.

I'd say Sparkling Gouramis are better in small groups of 4.Ok, so 6 because while they do not school, they feel more comfortable with more of their species?T. pumila has a single line and spots, the other Trichopsis have three lines. All three species croak.

I found that they were more active and confident in larger groups.Ok, so 6 because while they do not school, they feel more comfortable with more of their species?T. pumila has a single line and spots, the other Trichopsis have three lines. All three species croak.
