Honey Gourami: A Gentle Splash of Warmth for Your Aquarium

Bring serene beauty to your freshwater setup with the captivating Honey Gourami. These peaceful, vibrantly colored fish are a delightful addition, perfect for bringing a gentle elegance to your aquatic world.

Overview

The Honey Gourami (*Colisa sota*) is a charmer, especially the males, who display radiant honey-yellow to orange-red hues, often with subtle darker stripes, intensifying during breeding. Females are typically a more subdued, beautiful silvery-brown. Their distinctive thread-like pelvic fins are highly tactile, used to explore their surroundings with curiosity. Reaching up to 6 cm, these labyrinth fish are a graceful and engaging presence in the mid to upper levels of your aquarium.

Care Level

Considered easy to moderate to care for, the Honey Gourami is a generally peaceful and timid species, making it suitable for community tanks. Keep them with other non-aggressive, similarly sized tank mates. A single male with multiple females or a small group of females is ideal to minimize inter-male territoriality.

Tank Essentials

A minimum of 54 litres is recommended for a pair or small group, ensuring ample space for comfort. Maintain water temperatures between 22-28°C and a pH range of 6.0-7.5. Provide a densely planted environment with floating plants for cover, and ensure access to the water surface for their essential labyrinth organ breathing.

Diet

Honey Gouramis are omnivores and thrive on a varied diet. Offer high-quality flake or small pellet foods, supplemented regularly with live or frozen options like bloodworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp to enhance their coloration and vitality.
