Small, colourful dwarf gourami, ideal for peaceful community aquariums
Trichogaster lalius "Neon", also known as the Neon dwarf gourami, is a tropical freshwater fish originating from Southeast Asia. Its small size and intense metallic colours make it an excellent choice for well-planted community aquariums. This item is sold as a pair (1 male + 1 female).
A peaceful but sometimes shy species that should be kept in a calm tank, without aggressive or very boisterous fish (large barbs, big cichlids, etc.). The male can become territorial during breeding, so a well-structured layout with lots of plants is important.
Use starter bacteria and check water values regularly with our Aquabota test kits.
Omnivore with a carnivorous tendency:
Offer a varied diet with our foods for small tropical fish to enhance colours and maintain good health.
A reliable heater and a low-flow filter are essential for stability and comfort.
