Peaceful and refined Asian fish, ideal for planted aquariums
The pearl gourami (Trichopodus leerii) is one of the most elegant freshwater fish. Native to Southeast Asia, it is prized for its pearly, iridescent pattern and peaceful temperament. It is perfect for planted community aquariums.
A calm, peaceful species that mixes well with other gentle, medium-sized fish. Provide an aquarium of at least 120 L with warm, soft water, gentle filtration and shaded areas. Use starter bacteria and check water values regularly with our Aquabota test kits.
Omnivore: it enjoys flakes, pellets, daphnia and bloodworms. Offer a varied diet using our range of foods for tropical fish.
Install a reliable heater and a low-flow filter.
Provide a natural substrate, plenty of floating plants and soft, subdued lighting to encourage breeding behavior.
