The red honey gourami is a colour line of Trichogaster chuna, bred towards a strong red-orange over the whole body rather than the softer honey tone of the standard fish. Wild honey gouramis come from still, plant-choked water in India and Bangladesh, and this line keeps the same easy temperament. It is often sold beside the dwarf gourami and confused with it, but it is smaller, calmer and considerably less inclined to squabble.
Aquarium care
- Reaches around 5 cm.
- Peaceful with its own kind and with other fish.
- Shy on arrival. Planting and floating cover bring it out.
- Takes air at the surface, so leave a gap under the lid.
- Occupies the middle and upper levels.
- Omnivorous: small flake, micro pellets, frozen daphnia and bloodworm.
A sound choice as the feature fish in a small planted community with harlequin rasboras, ember tetras, corydoras and otocinclus. Boisterous barbs and other territorial gouramis are best avoided.
Stock rotates with each shipment, and livestock is sold for local pickup at our Lethbridge store. See the current gourami list.
