Description
The Honey Gourami (Trichogaster chuna) is a small, peaceful, and adaptable freshwater fish native to India and Bangladesh. In its natural habitat, it is found in slow-moving waters like rivers, ponds, and lakes with abundant vegetation. These fish are well-suited for planted aquariums, where they benefit from dense plant cover that provides hiding spaces and promotes their overall well-being. They are peaceful, omnivorous fish that thrive on a varied diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, frozen, and live foods. When keeping them in an aquarium, it's essential to maintain stable water quality, which includes a temperature range of 23-28°C (73.4-86°F), a pH between 6.0-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water. Due to their peaceful nature, they are ideal for community tanks with other calm species, avoiding aggressive or fin-nipping fish. Like other gouramis, they are labyrinth fish, meaning they can breathe atmospheric air, so it's important to leave a gap between the water surface and the aquarium lid. Maintaining a healthy and vibrant Honey Gourami in captivity requires a well-maintained environment, a balanced diet, and compatibility with tankmates. This fish ships individually bagged, one fish per bag.
