Chocolate Gourami Sphaerichthys Osphromenoides 3cm

The Chocolate Gourami (Sphaerichthys osphromenoides), a gem from Southeast Asia. Originating from slow-moving waters of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, these elegant fish boast a chocolate-brown hue and distinctive markings, adding a touch of allure to any aquarium.

Feeding these gouramis is a delight as they readily accept high-quality flakes, live, or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. Known for their peaceful nature, they thrive best in a well-planted tank with dim lighting and gentle filtration. Keeping them in small groups is recommended to enhance their social behavior.

Tank mates should match their serene temperament, including peaceful species like rasboras, small tetras, or other non-aggressive gouramis. They appreciate a calm environment and are sensitive to water quality, preferring soft, slightly acidic water with temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C).

With a moderate care level, these gouramis are suitable for intermediate aquarists looking to nurture a serene and captivating aquatic community. Their tranquil disposition makes them a stunning addition to a carefully curated tank, fostering an environment of tranquility and beauty.”
