Sunset Thicklip Gourami Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Sunset Thicklip Gourami in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 20 gallons (75 liters)
• Compatibility: Generally compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized community fish. Avoid fin-nippers or overly boisterous species. Males can be territorial towards each other, especially during breeding.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and surface cover (e.g., floating plants). A tight-fitting lid is essential as they are known to jump. The air above the water surface should be warm to prevent damage to their labyrinth organ when they surface to breathe.
