Pearl Gourami

Pearl Gourami’s are also known as Lace Gourami. Provide some open swimming space plus some heavily planted areas. Males develop longer fins and become more colourful when in breeding
condition.
Pearl Gourami’s are popular with fish keepers due to their gentle nature, affordability, and hardiness. They can sometimes be territorial to other male gourami’s, so in a smaller tank it’s recommended to keep a single male. Native to Southeastern Asia and available in a wide variety of colours and patterns.
