Description
Honey Gouramis are shy, peaceful fish, which will appreciate an aquarium with a gentle flow rate and plenty of plant cover (including floating plants). They can be kept in community aquariums with other peaceful fish species, but do require a fair sized tank with numerous hiding places in order for the females to escape the amorous attentions of the males from time to time. Outnumbering males with females will ensure they’re not unduly harassed by males in spawning condition. A great choice for planted aquaria, their ancestral native range gives them the capacity to thrive in unheated set ups which mirror the seasonal temperature fluctuations they encounter in their wild state.
