Dwarf Flame Gourami
Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
The Dwarf Flame Gourami is very popular due to their unusual body shape and peaceful temperament. They are a Labyrinth Fish and must have access to the surface of the tank to breathe. This gourami uses this specialized organ to breath in poorly oxygenated waters in the wild. They have a square shaped, thin, compressed body and are characterized by two long thread-like pelvic fins. Males have a pointed dorsal fin with a vibrant orange coloration. Females have a more rounded dorsal fin with a more blueish gray coloration. This gourami has a small adult size, so they are ideal for smaller aquariums. Gouramis are a great recommendation for beginner hobbyists due to their hardiness and ease in care. They prefer planted aquariums and peaceful tank mates. The Dwarf Flame Gourami is an omnivore that requires foods that are meat and algae based.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.

My Powder Blue Dwarf Gourami, Is twiching and i really don't know what to do i think its ammonia.
We recently bought a Betta from a chain store pet shop. He is currently in a 10 gallon tank with a heater. He’s been eating and swimming around, acting fine. The first day we had him I noticed this bump. (Didn’t notice in the petstore but hard to see in those cups they keep them in) Here’s a side shot. Looks like one tiny fluid filled bump, size of a scale. Any ideas?
I have an african dwarf frog and it has a growth on one of it`s sides.on that side it looks like it is pregnant but only on one side.The side that has the growth floats so my ADF is stuck on it`s side or back usualy.It could not swim from the surface.Then when I tryed to catch him to put him in quarentine he sudenly sank and could not swim up to the surface.I now have him in quarentine and am treating him with pimafix,melifix,and stress coat.Ten gallon tank,2otherADFs and4 zebra danios,one died.
My goldfish appears bloated
I have three glo fishes in my tank. Two of them appear to be very bloated. Not only is one of them more bloated than the other, but it is also losing some of its color in the lower part of its body and it has a rough look as if its scales were starting to shed. Last week the fish appeared to be excluding itself from the others, but I noticed now that it has been starting to eat and play around more. I read it online that this may be a fatal bloating bacteria but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks!
Hi! I have an aquatic dwarf frog that I'm watching for a friend out of town. When he was dropped off at my house he seemed swollen on the sides of his abdomen and over the past two days he has not eaten and his stomach looks firm and protruding. Even his back looks swollen. He has an appointment Thursday but I'd like advice keeping him alive till then. Oh hes also struggling to surface for air as if hes weighed down. The tank is less than 12 inch deep. I moved him to a smaller tank.
I have an angelfish and a red tail shark in a 15 gallon tank for about 4 days and they get along great. The angel fish has been almost swimming kind of lazy like almost floating and then will swim when off balance. And belly kinda looks swollen as well as eyes. And my red tail shark seems to have a gray patch on it's side and not swimming as active as he was. Either hides in the back of tank or in a house for hours.

My white halfmoon betta has.3 small red dots on his head? He may have ran into a piece of spiderwood in his tank or it might be a parasite. Is he alright?
Hi, I just got a fish from a friend and I don’t rlly know anything about that fish, it’s rlly small(about 4cm) and I want to know the breed of the fish and how to take care of it. Thanks you
I have a female betta wh seems quite passive, she is in a 3 gal tank and I wanted to add a tank mate since I am still new with fish and I read that african dwarf frogs are good starting pets, would I be able to keep the frog in the same tank without any trouble and would they be a good starting amphibian?
