Comments
Pearl Gouramis are one of the very nicest Gourami species and one of the very best fish for aquariums. They are very mild tempered. They
develop beautiful pearly spots and subtle colors. When they breed the males chest is covered with a brilliant dark orange area.

Recommended Diet
Pearl Gouramis do well on a diet of floating flake food plus some
freeze
dried blood worms, which
are actually mosquito
larvae, and an occasional treat of live Black Worms and live or frozen brine shrimp. Click

feeding fish. I feed these fish a few Black Worms every other day.

Compatibility
Pearl Gouramis seem to enjoy each others company, so you should keep a group with at least three Pearl Gouramis, and a group of 5 would
be even better. Good tanks mates for these Gouramis: All
Barbs,
Gouramis,
Danios,
Rainbows, a school of
Clown Loaches, one
Red
Tail Shark or one
Rainbow Shark, a school of

Sharks, and a
