bordered-yellow-jpegThe Honey Gourami (Trichogaster chuna) is native to India and Bangladesh. This fish makes a great inhabitant for any planted aquarium.This dwarf gourami only grows to three inches and is peaceful, making them a good choice for a beginner.

Honey Gouramis are omnivorous, they will eat a
variety of prepared foods such as freeze dried,
flakes, pellets or frozen cuisine.

The males tend to fight so getting one is fine. honey-gourami-cropped
A trio of one male to 2 females is preferred.

This month we have Red Honey Gourami a beautiful variant of the wild form.

Fun fact: These are labyrinth fish, which means they have an organ that allows them to breath oxygen from the air! Don’t let that fool you! they still need regular water changes.
