Pearl Gourami VIRUS FREE

Natural Range: Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, and Sumatra Source: Hobbyist Bred and Raised in Europe Estimated size at shipping: 2-3" Adult Size: around 4-5" Sold as: Unsexed Overview: VIRUS FREE!!! Gouramis in the hobby are plagued by iridovirus infections. Our Pearl Gouramis have been screened by a specialized state animal diagnostic lab where the foremost expert on fish viruses works, and no evidence of iridovirus, megalocytivirus, or mycobacteriosis were found. Our current group are juveniles and are not yet fully sexable. One of the prettiest of all the gouramis, these elegant fish are hardy and make a great centerpiece fish in a community aquairum. Setup Considerations: They are not picky about their tank as long as water parameters are stable. Floating plants are used as breeding sites. These fish come from swamps, so they don't need high water flow. These are not necessarily known to be jumpers, but they do occasionally jump, so a tight fitting lid is helpful, especially during the first few weeks as they are settling into their new home. Diet: Omnivore They are not picky eaters and eagerly consume all manner of aquarium foods.
