Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami
Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami
Colisa lalia
Dwarf Gouramis are peaceful and shy fish that add a striking display of color into the aquarium. Because of their shyness they are best suited for a well-planted tank that allows them to hide amongst the fauna to de-stress.
They do well with smaller peaceful fish, as well as another dwarf gourami. They are one of the species known as "Labyrinth Fish" - meaning they have a special organ called the labyrinth that allows them to breathe in air!
Gourami are omnivores, so they should be fed a well rounded diet of meaty foods and quality flakes and pellets. Males will have a pointed dorsal fin while the females are rounded.
