Platinum White Gourami – Pure Elegance in Motion
(Trichopodus trichopterus – Platinum Morph)

Add a touch of sophistication to your aquarium with the Platinum White Gourami (Trichopodus trichopterus), a dazzling color variant of the Three-Spot Gourami. This fish boasts a sleek, pearly white body with a subtle metallic sheen that glows under aquarium lighting. Graceful and hardy, it makes a stunning centerpiece in both community and species-only tanks.

Key Features:

  • Snow-White Beauty: A uniform platinum-white body gives this gourami a clean, luminous look that stands out beautifully in planted or dark-background aquariums.

  • Graceful and Bold: Known for its smooth, gliding movements and peaceful yet confident personality.

  • Medium Size: Reaches 12–15 cm (5–6 inches), making it a perfect choice for medium to large aquariums.

  • Labyrinth Breather: Equipped with a labyrinth organ, allowing it to breathe air from the surface—ideal for tanks with lower oxygen or gentle water flow.

Tank Compatibility:

  • Semi-peaceful—can be territorial, especially males, so provide adequate space and hiding spots

  • Best with similarly sized tankmates like barbs, rainbowfish, gouramis, larger tetras, and bottom dwellers

  • Avoid slow, long-finned, or timid species

Care Requirements:

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

  • pH: 6.5–8.0

  • Soft to moderately hard water

  • Provide a spacious, well-aquascaped tank with floating plants and subdued lighting for comfort

Feeding Tips:

  • Omnivorous and easy to feed

  • Thrives on a mix of high-quality flakes or pellets, along with frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia

  • Occasional vegetable-based foods like spirulina flakes are beneficial

Why Choose the Platinum White Gourami?
With its eye-catching pearlescent glow and adaptable, hardy nature, the Platinum White Gourami is an excellent choice for aquarists who want a peaceful yet striking addition to their tank. It's a standout fish that brings calm beauty and gentle motion to any freshwater setup.
