an amazing variety of Dwarf Gourami. With the appearance of a beautiful CA sunset and thick lips they will add color to any community tank =)
These dwarf Gourami have a striking yellow to red colored bodies with a silver head. As Dwarfs they grow to a manageable size of 3.5”. This variety have thicker lips giving them a different and interesting look compared to other Gourami. Similar to other Gourami they are bubble nest breeders and have labyrinth lungs. These lungs allow for gulping air from the surface so it is important they are able to reach the surface of the tank. Great for planted tanks as they do not eat plants.
