Sparkling Gourami

To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.

The Sparkling Gourami, also known as the Pygmy Gourami is a stunning nano fish.  They have beautiful small iridescent spots on the side of their body that almost "sparkle" when light is reflected off of them, hence, their name. They are a smaller fish and can grow to a a max size at about 1.5 inch which makes them perfect for planted nano tank. 

The Sparkling Gourami is a peaceful and timid fish and are accustom to fairly heavy vegetation, we recommend a planted tank to mimic their natural environment.

Sparkling Gouramis are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at:
