Pearl Gourami Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Pearl Gourami in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 30 gallons (114 liters)
• Compatibility: Excellent community fish, compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized species. Avoid fin-nippers or overly aggressive tank mates.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and floating vegetation. A tightly fitting lid is essential as they are known to jump. Gentle filtration is preferred, as they do not appreciate strong currents. They benefit from a varied diet including high-quality flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.
