These gouramis are active and colorful. I kept a group of four and they swim together nicely. They’re easy to care for and don’t stress other fish in the tank.

The red gold color is vibrant and they stay calm even with other fish. I’ve had them for six months and they’re still healthy and active.

Perfect for a small community tank. They don’t fight and enjoy the company of each other. The water parameters are stable and they adapt well.

I bought them for my first aquarium. They’re peaceful and eat a variety of foods. The only thing is they need a bit of hiding space.
