-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 30 gallons for a single Gold Gourami. If keeping multiple Gold Gouramis, a larger tank with plenty of hiding places is needed.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 72-82°F (22-28°C), a pH level of 6.0-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water.
-
Filtration: Use efficient filtration to ensure good water quality and oxygenation. Gouramis are sensitive to poor water conditions.
-
Aquascape: Create an environment with live or silk plants, driftwood, and floating vegetation. Gold Gouramis appreciate hiding spots and some cover in the tank.
-
Tank Mates: Gold Gouramis are generally peaceful and can coexist with other community fish that share similar water parameters. Be cautious when housing them with other gourami species.
-
Diet: They are omnivores and accept high-quality flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. Provide a varied diet to keep them healthy.
