Comments
This is a great fish. Does interact with other inhabitants. From my observations appears to swim with similar coloured fish, like Pearl Gourami's (Because of the black stripe on the Pearls). Do constantly nibble for algae, and also can be fed with flake. I have individuals in my aquarium, and don't seem stressed about the lack of friends. I would, however, prefer them to have friends but their size does limit how many you can get. Apparently are known to be peaceful to other individuals of the same species, however I haven't put two in the same aquarium yet so can't really comment on that. I would recommend this fish only if the aquarium is over 30 gallons, and is planted (as the fish likes to rest on large leaves). | | |
