Chocolate Gourami Fish
Sphaerichthys osphromenoides Size: max up to 2.5" pH: 6.0 - 7.0 Temp: 75 -86F KH: 2-4 Origin: Malaysia Additives: Freshwater Essential found at Aquarium Additives Food: New Life Spectrum "Community or Finicky Formula" and Zoo Plankton found at Fish Foods A peaceful omnivore that has a greenish-brown body and yellow stripes running vertically along its body. There is a dark, almost black 'spot' at the base of the tail. The Chocolate Gourami is a delicate fish that should be housed in at least a 10 - 20 gallon WELL-PLANTED tank. It is prone to bacteria and skin parasites, so very good water quality is required. The Chocolate Gourami prefers a well-established, thickly planted tank, with peat extract. Frequent water changes are a must. They do best if kept in pairs and are happiest if in colonys and are compatible with other shy, peaceful fish as tank mates. The best way to differentiate between the male and female is the yellow border that extends along the edge of the male's anal and caudal fins. The Chocolate Gourami is a mouth brooder that spawns infrequently. The male and female will spawn on the bottom of the tank and the female collects the eggs in her mouth. She will hold the eggs for 14 days during which time she does not eat, therefore, it is important that the female be in her best condition before breeding. Size at shipping: about 1.5"+ Limited Availability. This is a difficult fish to grow/ship/acclimate for most people. We reserve the right to screen who this fish is sold to.
