The Pearl Gourami, scientifically known as Trichopodus leerii, is a stunning freshwater fish known for its elegant appearance and peaceful nature. Native to Southeast Asia, particularly in the slow-moving, heavily vegetated waters of Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, this species is popular among aquarists due to its unique, pearl-like spots scattered across its body and its iridescent sheen. The Pearl Gourami is one of the hardier gourami species, making it a great choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. They typically grow to about 4-5 inches (10-12 cm) in length and can live for up to 4-6 years in captivity with proper care.

Habitat and Tank Requirements:

In their natural habitat, Pearl Gouramis are found in slow-moving waters that are densely vegetated and rich in organic material. To replicate these conditions in a home aquarium, it’s important to provide a well-planted tank with soft, slightly acidic water.

Tank Size and Water Parameters:

PARAMETER	RECOMMENDED
Tank Size	Minimum 100 litres
Temperature	77-82°F (25-28°C)
pH	6.0-7.5
Hardness	Soft to moderately hard water, 5-15 dGH

This table outlines the ideal water parameters for keeping Pearl Gouramis healthy and thriving. These fish prefer warm, stable water conditions, and a tank with ample space to accommodate their size and swimming patterns.

Pearl Gouramis thrive in tanks with plenty of plants, such as java fern, Vallisneria, or Anubias, as these provide cover and reduce stress. They also appreciate floating plants that provide shaded areas, which mimic their natural habitat. Since they are labyrinth fish, Pearl Gouramis can breathe atmospheric air, so it is important to leave some space at the top of the tank for them to access the surface. A gentle filter is ideal, as these fish prefer calm waters without strong currents.

We Recommend:

These carefully selected options provide a well-balanced nutritional profile, ensuring that your fish receive the essential nutrients they need for optimal growth, vibrant colors, and overall health. By offering a variety of these high-quality foods, you can help maintain the vitality and well-being of your fish, promoting a healthy and thriving aquarium environment.

Behavior and Compatibility:

Pearl Gouramis are peaceful and relatively shy, making them ideal for community tanks. Males can be slightly territorial during breeding, but they generally coexist well with other calm fish. To avoid stress, it is best to avoid housing them with large or aggressive species. Ideal tank mates for Pearl Gouramis include small tetras, rasboras, Corydoras catfish, and other peaceful species.

Male Pearl Gouramis can be easily distinguished from females by their more vibrant coloration and the extended, red-orange coloration on their throat and belly. During breeding, males build bubble nests at the surface of the water and can become protective over their territory.
