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 species of similar size, such as tetras, rasboras, corydoras, and other peaceful gouramis. Avoid fin-nippers or overly boisterous tankmates.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and floating vegetation to provide cover and reduce stress. A tightly fitting lid is essential as they are known jumpers. They prefer subdued lighting and a gentle water flow. The presence of a labyrinth organ means they need access to the water surface to breathe atmospheric air.
