How do you differentiate between male and female? I have 1 gold gourami in a 15 gallon tank, its alone and I'm planning to pair it up and add some tank mates. Which are best tank mates? Btw my gourami is agressive.
Distinguishing between male and female Gold Gouramis can be tricky. Males typically have more pointed dorsal and anal fins, while females' fins are shorter and rounded. Given your Gourami's aggressive behavior, choosing tank mates can be challenging. Peaceful fish that can handle some aggression might work, like some tetras or danios. However, monitor their interactions closely and ensure there are hiding spots in the tank to reduce stress. It's crucial to keep an eye on the overall dynamics as you introduce tank mates.
@@AquaWorldInfo it's rounded! There's a curve at the end of the Dorsal fin. Can I pair it up with a male? Will it get along or will they fight? Thanks for the rply man! Appreciate it!
@rakshiths5569 If the Dorsal fin is rounded, it's likely a female Gold Gourami. Pairing it up with another male could lead to territorial behavior and aggression, especially in smaller tanks. It's safer to have only one male in a tank to prevent potential fighting and stress among the fish. Keeping an eye on their behavior when introducing a male might help gauge compatibility, but having multiple males in a smaller tank might not be ideal due to potential aggression.
@@AquaWorldInfo Okay. I'll creat hiding places and introduce the male fish and monitor their behaviour and I'll keep your points in mind and move forward. We need ppl like you. It really helps the community! Thanks for the help!
@rakshiths5569 I'm glad to hear that the advice was helpful! Creating hiding spots and carefully monitoring their behavior during the introduction is a great approach. Observing their interactions will give you a good idea of how they'll get along. Your efforts to ensure a harmonious tank environment are commendable! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask anytime. Good luck with your fish!
Sorry to hear about the mix-up! Gold Gouramis can grow much larger than Honey Gouramis, reaching up to 6 inches. If you have the space, they can be a rewarding species to keep. Otherwise, you might want to consider rehoming it.
i keep mine in a tank with relatively strong flow but i have areas with little flow for it to retreat and it is fat and happy with its cichlid and catfish buddies
🐠🦐🌱🤔 That sounds like an interesting setup for your 10-gallon paludarium! Golden gouramis can be a beautiful addition. However, it's crucial to ensure the tank's compatibility and appropriate space for each inhabitant. Keep in mind that gouramis can be territorial, so monitor their behavior closely. As for the unidentified fish, try to identify their species to understand their compatibility requirements and ensure a balanced ecosystem. Best of luck with your paludarium! 🐠🌿🦐
@@AquaWorldInfo hey thanks for the video btw. Actually i notice that one of my male gourami (Opaline) is very aggressive toward my gold gourami and after 2 days I notice the male gourami start nipping the gold gourami's fin so i had to swap it with the female. Until this day, they seem fine and tolerate each other. Although, I think I need to swap the 6 fish because its red small tilapia and they are very aggressive toward each other not to mention they also heavy eater.
Hey! Thanks for watching my video. Regarding the croaking noise, it's actually quite normal for opaline gouramis to make various sounds, including croaking. It's a unique characteristic of their species. The croaking noise is typically made by the males during courtship and territorial displays. It's their way of communicating with other gouramis. So, don't worry, your opaline gourami is just expressing itself! If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to ask. Enjoy your time with your opaline gourami!"
Does gold gaurami also get size as of local blue gourami
I also have this fish along with the 4 angel fish they have beuatiful colours
Yes they are beautiful, but be careful. These gouramis fin nipper also

love these fish
there are no limit for love your fish
Fuck. They sell me this fish as a honey gourami. I don't know what I'm going to do with a such big fish

What will happen to gourami if the flow of water alil bit strong.
In simple language, it is called drowning fish. This keeps the fish under stress. So you lower the pressure of your pump a little.
@@AquaWorldInfo thank you(arigato) 😌
sorry for my english ✌️

How to treat my golden gaurami? She has red spot in her full body..pls... I help me.. For it what is solution..?
The red spots could be Hermorrhagic Septicemia which is a blood infection that causes red marks that can appear as scratches as well.
@@AquaWorldInfo ok but what is the solution for it.. Today died 2 gaurami fishes and this is last fish.. Now. I mean what is temporary solution?
You can use R.O. water for now. And give your fishes some live food (blood worms.. etc)
@@AquaWorldInfo she is also died.. Today
Ohh ... Very sad
Next time be careful for your water parameters.
Are those red spots on the gills normal?
Its normal.
Just got 2 of this for my 10 gallon paludarium along with amano shrimp and 6 fish(still don't know what kind of fish)
