20:36 They are also quite easy to breed aswell. But I didn't know most of them were wild caught. I have a feeling my pair was also wild caught, even though they bred readily in my aquarium.
The Sparkling Gourami is the best! They are insanely attractive: definitely deserve the 'sparkling' nametag. If they were larger, I think they would rival many marine fish? They look best in a more 'blackwater' style aquarium with a good tangle of woodwork, roots, and botanicals like seed pods, leaf litter, etc, and some floating plants to make them feel totally secure. The fact that remain small means you can get away with a relatively small aquarium to keep them in. Keep the group small so that each fish has space: overcrowding can lead to squabbling? I have found that the beauty of these fish lies in the fact the intensity of their coloration means that they're always visible in the aquarium - despite their small size. And I like the way they behave: their movements and behaviours are all quite deliberate, unlike the typical schooling behaviour of tetras.
Strangely enough, my two opalines are constantly chosen as people's favorites in my fish room. they shimmer when happy and the pattern is subtle yet exotic.
I like that this Gentleman doesn't pull punches. Thank him for being so honest to allow the right fish go to the right people. Experience matters as a saler. It shows in this video and others with him in it. Portland has done one thing right. And it's this. Give him a raise before he makes his own channel.
I love Gouramis!! Sparkling and Croaking are two of my favs. When Sparkling Gourami are fired up they are a sight to see! I have 3 right now and adore them. When you hear the Croaking Gourami croak in your tank it's soooo cool!!
Bob was apparently so disgusted by Gourami that he couldn’t possibly continue. They are not my favorite either but I almost pulled the trigger on those Peppermint pikehead yesterday at the Wet Spot. They are amazing looking.
Ayyeee another Cameron video!! Have a few paradise fish myself - LOVE that they don't require a heater!! I had their tank in the upper 70s until I did more research and discovered that the heater wasn't necessary. They seem so much more happy now in the upper 60s/lower 70s. The People need more gourami information!
Greta to spot light the wonderful Gourami family but the Gourami you showed as the wild form of Dwarf gourami was actually a. Blue gourami T. Tricopterus not A T,Lalia

Love the tour and info. Thank you!!!!😊
Thanks for these species profiles...they are awesome 🤗
I am a gourami fan, kept several of the fish you showed. You might change the photo at 6:09 as that is not a dwarf gourami....
That is what I was going to say. It's a 3 spot. The image even lists the correct Latin name. It's not a wild dwarf.

Luciocephalus are in the family Osphronemidae which makes the gouramis. The have a labyrinth organ.
Can gourami be tank mates with arowana?
Which are the bad goramis?
I had one in with the lemon tetras and they wouldn’t stop picking on him.
I love lemon tetras but they are jerks.
Wild type powder blue dwarf is not the fish shown as the wildtype. Pictured is the Trichopodus trichopterus
Heyyo bing bong 🍻
I want to keep sparkling gourami in 50 lowboy is that a bad idea?
Nobel goramis jump a lot. Mine always die by jumping out 😢
