Pearl Gourami ❤ Mine claimed an entire 40g as her own. She stationed herself in the middle of the tank and all the community fish hid. She ended up with her own tank. 😅

My lfs has a color morph of them, so pretty.

You forgot to mention the croaks the sparkling gourami make. You can hear them when they have territorial squabbles.

@PrimeTimeAquatics 8 дней назад

So true!

@tedriggs1513 8 дней назад

Great video. There is one I still like is the kissing gourami. I know they can be aggressive. But I found that if you keep a pair with a semi-aggressive tank, they go at each other and leave the others alone. Just my experience.

@@PrimeTimeAquatics Dear Jason (and Joanna of course), I've never enjoyed keeping fish more than since I've discovered your many videos and use them as guidelines and you're always so genuinely polite and caring. Sure I still struggle translating Fahrenheit into Celsius but at least I know now how many liters go into a gallon. Until now I never subscribed to any channel because I rather spend my little money on my fish and my cat but I am since today a proud Prime Timer 😊

@marksguitars5617 8 дней назад

great video, when I was young we kept Pearl gouramis, we had some that lived almost 12 years! Never bothered the other fish just a little harmless chasing between the gouramis.

@garg4531 8 дней назад

My top picks for gouramis would be pearl gouramis for their hardiness, peaceful nature and exotic appearance, and honey gouramis for their small size, super peaceful nature, and bright yellow coloration I love the beauty of dwarf gouramis, but I simply don't trust them 😅 I've seen and heard how problematic they can be at times

@blip-2024 День назад

Dwarf Gourami are my favorite fish but due to Dwarf Gourami disease, I no longer keep them. Too heart breaking to watch them waste away.

@Godzillajoinedtheknights День назад

My most interactive gourami was my blue gourami but he was too aggressive i had dwarf gourami as well im trying honey gouramis so i hope it goes good

@krisnaive День назад

I think along with honey and sparkling , chocolate gouramis are also a top choice for nano planted tanks

@PlainsPup 4 дня назад

It’s not a “cheat” to put the blue, opaline, and gold gourami at #2, because they are all literally different color varieties of the same species, Trichopodus trichopterus. They’re also known as the three-spot gourami (the third spot is the eye) and the Cosby gourami. The wildtype is actually brown. They’re all the same type of fish. It’s like the different varieties of betta, dwarf gourami, angelfish, etc. So yes, if that’s on your list, it makes all the sense in the world to simply put a single species in the same slot. Of course, I’d put them at #1 and their congener, the pearl gourami at #2, but that’s just me. 😁

@Suntroll13 7 дней назад

What happened to the Indian Banded Gourami? Way back when I was a kid they were called Giant Gouramis. That was before today’s Giant Gourami was known to Western aquarists. They’re absolutely beautiful.

@pannobhasa 8 дней назад

My main problem with dwarf gouramis is that it is very difficult to find females for sale anywhere. No local shop sells them or can even order them, and I've found only one place online that sells females (mostly wild type). I got one of those to keep my cobalt blue male company, and she doesn't even need to be fed because she spends all day foraging for biofilm and microfauna among the plants and is healthy and plump.

@karrde593 7 дней назад

Thanks for the idea.. sparkling gourami dwarf rasboras in a desktop planted tank. I don’t have to have just fighters, who would have thunk it.

@xenomorph8437 6 дней назад

Sparkling gourami also make clicking sounds when disputing territory. I have three sparkling gouramis in one tank and they made me I had a cricket in my room for the longest time until I saw them making the sound, it was too cool. Don't let this behavior be confused with the croaking gouramis which also make a sound but grow much larger.

@JordanDaly-un7ih 6 дней назад

Opalines for sure, have two females in my community tank and are quite big now. Mine are so peaceful and have never seen them bother any fish :)

@HelenT-xv6zm 7 дней назад

I like the dwarf gouramis, but especially the regular colored ones. I had a group of them in a 50 gallon tank and they did quite well. I love opalines but they are toughies and the fighting gets tiresome at times., along with kissing gouramis in the right situation and kids love them.

@Katvonbirb 7 дней назад

Honey gourami are my favorite, but I would love to someday to have pearl, chocolate, and/or samurai, but I have very hard water, so two of those are somewhat unlikely without a fair bit more work on my part.

@kimp7160 8 дней назад

Definitely the honey gourami even though I've had bad luck with them so far. The next time I try I may get a pair of them for my 29H. My previous ones were singletons and never fully got over their shyness even though the other fish paid them no mind. I prefer the yellow but I am warming up to the orange.

@Rinsland 7 дней назад

I have a group of 6 honey gouramis in a planted community 75 gallon, and they're my favorite fish. Their social interactions with each other and other fish give them a ton of personality, and add a lot of entertainment into the tank.

Jason, Great list but I haven’t been able to keep any gouramis alive. I tried the dwarf ones. I tried the paradise one. I haven’t tried the sparkling or the opaline or the pearl. I am so against keeping them because they die so fast. My water parameters are good to but the gouramis just seem to die so quickly. It’s. A planted tank to.

Larger ones tend to be more hardy if you can find them.

@SequoiaElisabeth 8 дней назад

The honey gourami (Trichogaster chuna) is by far my favorite. If you can get the wild type, all the better. The bright yellow ones have been commercially raised with hormones, etc and just don't make for good pets. Some LFS sell only males, but I like the females better because of their temperament and natural look.

I keep youtube playing while I do tank maintenance and this rolled into my recs WHILE I was handfeeding my big boy pearl. I love him but he's REAL mean. He's even got the angelfish on the ropes, and my female angel is a monster.

@rustyberry4405 8 дней назад

I have a blue dwarf gourami and honey gourami in a 40 gallon who do okay together. The main thing I notice is the dwarf tends to stay towards the front of the tank while the honey stays in the middle back. Pearls are on my list to try but our local fish stores tend to not have them in stock very often for some reason. That's part of the reason I have the dwarf and honey ones instead.
