✂️ Care

Keep as a pair or harem in a quiet, well-planted aquarium with plenty of floating plants — here the male builds his bubble nest, which he fiercely defends at all times. Avoid strong currents, as this disturbs the nest. As a labyrinth fish, this gourami can also breathe air at the water surface, so ensure sufficient open space above the water.

🐠 Combination tip

Relatively peaceful, but during breeding, the male fiercely defends his bubble nest. Combine with peaceful species and keep this in mind during the breeding period.
