The Leeri Gourami is a beautiful and active fish. It adds color and movement to the tank. I’ve kept it for over a year and it’s healthy and calm in a 20-gallon tank with compatible species. Water parameters are stable and it’s easy to maintain.

Great fish with a unique pattern. It’s slightly shy at first but settles into the tank after a few weeks. I noticed it became more active when the water temperature was kept between 78 and 80°F. Needs a bit of space, but worth it.
