Honey Dwarf Gourami

Honey dwarf gourami range in color from a deep honey yellow to yellow and red. These gourami are small, hardy, and peaceful. Like most small aquatic species, small dwarf gourami are less stressed when kept in a school. These smaller gourami take nearly a year to develop their rich colors, and only hints of color appear when first placed in the aquarium.

Quick Facts

Care Guide

Tank setup: Give them a heater, a gentle filter and plenty of plants, including some floating plants for cover. Keep a lid on the tank and leave a gap of air above the water, since gouramis breathe from the surface.

Feeding: Feed a quality flake or small pellet once or twice a day, only as much as they eat in a couple of minutes. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.

Tankmates: Keep them with small, peaceful fish such as rasboras, small tetras, corydoras and otocinclus. Avoid fin-nippers like tiger barbs and larger, boisterous fish.

Good to know: Honey gouramis are among the most peaceful gouramis, which makes them a great first gourami for a community tank.
