gourami

Hello, Although I’m not a total beginner in fish keeping, I’m not the most experienced and i am definitely looking for some advice on a couple questions that I’m having a hard time getting solid answers to anywhere else. I recently purchased 3 dwarf Gouramis and i am so happy I did! Prior to...

My LFS has some paradise fish marketed as "blue paradise fish" and "red paradise fish" but I can't find anything substantial about any differences online. Is there a difference? I currently have a male paradise fish and was considering getting two females as I've heard that ratio works, but I...

Firstly, I’m not quite sure what to look for when sexing my paradise fish. Secondly, I know bettas are technically gouramis and you usually don’t want two gouramis in the same tank, but I was wondering if this case was any different because bettas look strikingly different than other gouramis. I...

Hi everyone ! I would like to start my first Community Tank. I've read A LOT of information about tropical fishes and Im very exited to have some of them. Im struggling with how many Liters/Gallons needs every fish that I would like to have. Due to the difference of equivalencies and "mistakes"...

Would a pearl gourami be fine with a small shoal of Buenos Aires tetra in a 40 gallon breeder?

Hi all, Was hoping to get some thoughts on a centerpiece fish, shrimp or other fish I can get for my aquarium (unless I'd be overstocking); I've had a look at the other "centerpiece fish" forum posts, but every tank is different so wanted specific thoughts to reduce the chance of any issues. I...

This pearl gourami seems to have pretty bad fin rot on it's too fin and what seems to be fungus on it's eye and on it's front two fin bases. treating with eSha gdex and eSha 2000 any ideas

Hello, super new to the group and first time gourami keeper . We woke up today to one of our females (Our gourami’s sexes are just an assumption) looking quite large . Don’t get me wrong, Perla has always been thicker but she’s uncomfortably bloated looking today . She isn’t lethargic at all...

Last night I noticed a small white spot on my dwarf flame gourami. I had recently had a flagfish in the tank for about a day and he had ended up nipping the fins of my other fish, so I removed him immediately. My first thought was that perhaps the slight fin damage compromised my gourami's...

Hi, I noticed my Gourami had small hole on its side and a brown string was coming out of it. The string drops and continusly keeps dropping. For 3 days now.The fish is eating and swimming like normal. I just added API general cure to my tank last night hoping it stop. Just incase it was...

Hello everyone, I've looking after my wife's fish while she's away. There is one honey gourami who has not eaten for about a week. He just stays in the top corner of the tank. He doesn't too pale. Certainly not at the moment. Because of the way the tank is built, he seems to have chosen this...

Hey guys, I've just bought a 100L/ 20 gallon tank and I'm waiting to pick it up at the moment. Very excited! It comes with 2 internal filters (both Aquael 700) and a heater which is great. I was looking into keeping some honey gouramis, platies, neon tetras and maybe some leopard cory's? Nice...

My powder blue dwarf gourami has had this for 4-5 weeks now. First and second time it was a distinct tilt and inability to swim straight, this time it's hanging vertically, with the head at the top. I can snap her out of it for a few minutes by repositioning her. She cab even straighten...

i'm new to having fish (Please excuse my english I normaly speak french). 2 of my gouramis are making a bubble nest.. and I was wondering what should I do about that.. I have 3 gouramis. The only one not making a nest is a dwarf (blue) and he couldnt care less about the two other lol. My...

So I bought 2 dwarf gouramis about 5 months back and after around a week one died. I put this down to stress as I didn't see any symptoms, he just died but now, the remaining one has recently had a long string of white poop coming out of him constantly so I fed mashed peas for a few days. We now...

Got her about 8 months ago from a small local fish store that didn't have names on half the stuff. Anyway - the owner said it was a "Chocolate Gourami" - so I bought 2 took them home and one died immediately along with other fish he had. I actually have two real Chocolate Gourami's - and their...

a couple weeks ago I noticed one of my dwarf powder blue Gourami was not coming up to the top to get air. Interestingly, I had JUST read an article that insisted that Gourami are "obligatory air breathers" meaning they must come up for air while Betta's are "Facilitative air breathers" that...

Ok, another one of Jan's long posts. I'm trying to use paragraphs now. I have had two powder blue Dwarf Gourami's since June 1, 2019. They were some of the first fish I ever purchased and have been very healthy. Suddenly one of the two NEVER comes up for air unless I force her to. Then...

Hi all, My golden gourami has been living in my dad’s tank for a while now, almost a year. (I raised him in a twenty gallon and he moved to the sixty when he got bigger). He lives with some angels and discus and my comet goldfish as well, who are all healthy. Recently for the past couple of...
