Bring vibrant colour and fascinating behaviour to your aquarium with the stunning Paradise Gourami, also known as the Paradise Fish! Featuring beautiful blue and red-orange stripes, flowing fins, and a distinctive appearance, this eye-catching freshwater fish is a wonderful choice for aquarists looking for a fish with personality.
Paradise Gouramis are hardy, curious fish that belong to the labyrinth fish family, allowing them to breathe air directly from the water's surface. They can tolerate cooler temperatures than many tropical fish but may be territorial, particularly toward other males and fish with similar body shapes. A thoughtfully arranged aquarium with plants and hiding places helps provide a suitable environment.
