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 Gold 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 longer pointed dorsal fin while females have a more rounded dorsal fin. Only one male should be added to the aquarium as they can be territorial towards one another. This gourami has a smaller 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 Gold Gourami is an omnivore that requires foods that are meat and algae based.

ACCLIMATION: 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. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, 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, unfiltered aquariums.
