Description

Golden Gourami – Bright, Bold, and Easy to Care For
(Trichopodus trichopterus – Golden Morph)

The Golden Gourami is a striking color variation of the classic Three-Spot Gourami (Trichopodus trichopterus), featuring a beautiful golden-yellow body with subtle pearlescent undertones. Hardy and adaptable, this fish adds a radiant glow to any freshwater aquarium and is ideal for both beginners and experienced aquarists looking for a splash of color and personality.

Key Features:

  • Brilliant Golden Coloration: Its rich, warm hues make it stand out in both planted and minimalist tank setups.

  • Hardy and Adaptable: This species is well-known for its resilience and ability to thrive in a wide range of water conditions.

  • Labyrinth Fish: Possesses a labyrinth organ, allowing it to breathe atmospheric air—great for low-oxygen environments or tanks with gentle flow.

  • Moderate Size: Grows up to 12–15 cm (5–6 inches), making it a perfect centerpiece fish for medium to large tanks.

Tank Compatibility:

  • Semi-peaceful but can show territorial behavior, especially males

  • Best kept with similar-sized or slightly larger non-aggressive tankmates like barbs, loaches, and larger tetras

  • Avoid housing with long-finned or very timid species

Care Requirements:

  • Temperature: 24°C–28°C (75°F–82°F)

  • pH: 6.5–8.0

  • Moderately soft to hard water

  • Provide a well-decorated tank with open swimming space and some floating plants to mimic their natural habitat

Feeding Tips:

  • Omnivorous and undemanding

  • Enjoys a mix of quality flakes, pellets, frozen foods (bloodworms, brine shrimp), and vegetable matter

  • A varied diet will help maintain vibrant coloration and good health

Why Choose the Golden Gourami?
The Golden Gourami is a bright and lively addition to any aquarium. Its radiant color, low-maintenance care, and engaging behavior make it a standout choice for anyone wanting a beautiful and robust fish with a strong presence.
