Dwarf Gourami Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Dwarf Gourami in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 10 gallons (38 liters) for a single male or a pair
• Compatibility: Generally compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized community fish. Avoid fin-nippers or overly boisterous species. Males can be territorial towards other male gouramis or similar-looking fish.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and surface vegetation. A gentle water flow is preferred. A tight-fitting lid is essential as they are jumpers and need access to a layer of warm, humid air above the water surface for their labyrinth organ.
