Native to the slow-moving rivers, swamps, and wetlands of Southeast Asia, this stunning labyrinth fish adds both sophistication and gentle activity to community and planted aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePearl Gouramis are known for their calm, inquisitive nature and generally get along well with a wide variety of peaceful tank mates. They spend much of their time exploring the middle and upper levels of the aquarium, using their distinctive thread-like pelvic fins to investigate their surroundings. Males develop vibrant orange-red coloration on the throat and chest during maturity, making them particularly striking display fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese hardy gouramis thrive in well-planted aquariums with subdued lighting, gentle water movement, and plenty of swimming space. Floating plants and natural décor help them feel secure while also showcasing their natural behaviors. As labyrinth fish, they breathe atmospheric air and require access to the water's surface. A varied diet of quality flakes, pellets, frozen foods, and occasional live foods will help maintain their health and coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–5 inches (10–13 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 gallons\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75–82°F (24–28°C)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e No, but can be kept singly, in pairs, or small groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith their sparkling pearl pattern, gentle disposition, and graceful presence, Pearl Gouramis are an outstanding choice for aquarists seeking a peaceful centerpiece fish that brings beauty, personality, and elegance to the aquarium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fintastic Fish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43481560940679,"sku":null,"price":7.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/0187\/7383\/files\/00af0865-dde4-467f-a7eb-032bdf24bff0.jpg?v=1767753164","url":"https:\/\/www.fintasticfish.ca\/products\/pearl-gourami","provider":"Fintastic Fish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
