Overview

Silver Gouramis are a pale colour form of the Three Spot Gourami. Their subtle colour does not reduce their adult size or potential territorial behaviour.

Supplied size: M. Adult size is shown below.

Tank Setup

Use tall planting, floating cover, gentle surface movement and clear access to air. Break sightlines with wood or plants.

Behaviour & Compatibility

Males can be forceful and breeding fish may defend a territory. Choose robust companions and avoid timid species or other gouramis in limited space.

Diet & Feeding

Offer good omnivore pellets or flakes with a varied selection of small frozen foods.

Routine Care

Use a fully cycled aquarium before adding livestock. Check temperature, appetite and behaviour daily. Test water regularly: ammonia and nitrite must remain at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned water matched to the aquarium’s temperature and chemistry. Keep nitrate low and rinse biological filter media in removed aquarium water.
