Male Dwarf Gourami XL

Bring a splash of brilliant color and a peaceful presence to your aquarium with the Male Dwarf Gourami XL. This extra-large, mature gourami is a true showstopper, showcasing a body that shimmers with an incredible iridescent sheen of bright blues and reds, often with vertical stripes that give it a unique, painted look. Its prominent ventral fins are thin and thread-like, adding a graceful and delicate touch as it explores the tank. The larger size of this "XL" specimen makes its stunning coloration and elegant form even more magnificent.

The Male Dwarf Gourami is a generally peaceful and shy fish. It thrives in a well-planted tank with plenty of hiding spots and will often build beautiful bubble nests at the surface, a fascinating natural behavior to observe. While they are peaceful with most community fish, a male may become territorial with other male gouramis, so it's best to keep only one per tank or to provide plenty of space and visual barriers.

Diet

For their diet, Dwarf Gouramis are omnivores. They are not picky eaters and will readily accept a varied diet of high-quality flake food and small pellets. To maintain their vibrant coloration and overall health, it's essential to supplement their diet with small frozen or live foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia. A balanced diet will ensure these beautiful fish remain healthy and active.
