Honey Gourami Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Honey Gourami in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 10 gallons (38 liters)
• Compatibility: Excellent with other peaceful, small to medium-sized community fish. Avoid fin-nippers or overly boisterous species. Can be kept in pairs or small groups, though males can be territorial towards each other during breeding.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and floating vegetation. A gentle water flow is preferred. As a labyrinth fish, they need access to the water surface to breathe atmospheric air, so ensure there is a small gap between the water surface and the tank lid. Soft, slightly acidic water is ideal for optimal health and breeding coloration.
