Overview
What to know before you buy.
The base species behind the gold, blue, opaline and platinum gouramis sold under separate names — all are colour forms of one fish. Males become territorial with age and need space and cover.
Care guide
Keeping Three Spot Gourami healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
A minimum 120L aquarium suits Three Spot Gourami. Use robust décor and sight breaks so each fish can hold its own space.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6–8 and 23–28°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Feeding
Omnivore — flake, pellet, frozen. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Behaviour
Semi-aggressive; males territorial. Watch it at feeding time and at lights-out to see its real temperament in your tank.
Tankmates
Choose robust tankmates of similar size, and nothing small enough to be eaten. Add Three Spot Gourami last so territories reset.
Breeding
Breeding success with Three Spot Gourami depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
Settling this fish in?
Condition the tap water, seed the filter, test through the first weeks — most early losses trace back to one of those.
