Overview:

VIRUS FREE!!! Gouramis in the hobby are plagued by iridovirus infections. Our Pearl Gouramis have been screened by a specialized state animal diagnostic lab where the foremost expert on fish viruses works, and no evidence of iridovirus, megalocytivirus, or mycobacteriosis were found.

One of the prettiest of all the gouramis, these elegant fish are hardy and make a great centerpiece fish in a community aquairum.

Setup Considerations:

They are not picky about their tank as long as water parameters are stable. Floating plants are used as breeding sites. These fish come from swamps, so they don't need high water flow.

Diet: Omnivore

They are not picky eaters and eagerly consume all manner of aquarium foods.

Water Parameters: We keep all our fish at a temperature of 79 F.

Our pH measures around 8.3 with a KH and GH a bit over 300ppm. That being said, we want to caution folks with different water parameters from thinking that they need to change their water for our fish. We have many customers in the Pacific Northwest, Upstate New York, and other areas that have very soft water. Our fish do just fine in their water without any parameter matching. What is most important is that the water our fish are put in upon arrival have steady parameters, not that your water parameters match ours.
