Red Flame Dwarf Gourami

The red flame dwarf gourami is also called the cinnamon dwarf gourami. Male red flame dwarf gourami feature a solid bright red body with blue fins. When you order the flame dwarf gourami, we ship only the colorful males, whether neon blue, standard dwarf, powder blue, or red flame. Female dwarf gouramis are sold separately at a lower price. Females are a solid tan color and will breed with any of the previously mentioned males; with their plain color, they cannot afford to be picky.

Quick Facts

Care Guide

Tank setup: Give them a heater, a gentle filter and plenty of plants, including floating plants. 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 other male dwarf gouramis.

Good to know: Males can squabble with each other, so keep one male per tank, or several only in a heavily planted tank with lots of hiding places.
