Gourami

About me: Hello, I am a gourami. On the photo you see a blue one, but there are many different species of me and therefore all possible colors. Regarding my keeping, it is important that only one species of gourami is kept in an aquarium at a time. Why? We are very active and therefore no other lively fish should meet us. Also the fact, that we are a breed-forming fish, plays a role in this. Well, it also follows that more females than males of the keeping species live together in an aquarium. Under the conditions the tempers are calmed down to a certain extent.
