Description
With their shimmering pearl-like scales and elegant fins, Pearl Gouramis are one of the most beautiful and peaceful centerpiece fish for community aquariums. Calm, graceful, and dazzling - a true freshwater gem. They are best kept in in pairs or small harems (1 male with 2-3 females) for good social behavior. As labyrinth fish, they breathe air from the surface, so ensure access to open water at the top is essential. They can thrive in planted aquariums and floating plants allow for security and bubble nesting. Dark substrate and subdued lighting enhance their pearl-like shimmer. The Pearl Gourami do best by being fed small portions 2 to 3 times a day with variety of foods. Provide a varied diet of flakes, live and frozen foods.
