I bought one knowing that the males fight, but kept getting told that they are also highly social fish that can get timid if left alone, so I'm glad I was able to find someone who could confirm that makes are fine if left alone. I just hope my school of 12 embers keeps him company while also letting him be the big fish and booste his confidence
A small note about dwarf gourami diet-- Watch your protein content. What I'm seeing is that dwarf gourami tend to get constipated easily with higher protein foods. Variety is of course key, but I actually use algae wafer chunks and Fluval Bug Bites (spirulina formula, it's the green one, you can't miss it) as mine's daily feed and he's been doing pretty well on that. The algae wafer I have is not a particularly "good" one, especially given the first ingredient is fish meal, but it has a protein content of 33%. That, in conjunction with the fluval bug bites having a ton of spirulina, black soldier fly larva, and a protein content of about 37%, seems to be doing very well. Once again, that's just the staple, and treats and variety will really make them shine. Try to keep that protein lower, though. I visibly saw my gourami become bloated from eating the fluval bug bites bloodworm flakes, and let's just say he kinda stayed that way till I got some better food for him the next day.
Great. I went to the pet store and asked about these, I asked if I could keep them together about 4 in my 140liter tank, they was all males, they said yeah no problem and now I’ve just seen this video now they are already in my tank
Hi there. I’m a new pet fish owner and currently have 2 female dwarf gourami in my 37L fish tank. I know the advice is to give a pinch of flakes at feeding time is recommended alongside however much they can eat within 2 minutes. However, I’m not sure how big a pinch of flakes is enough or if two minutes of eating time is sufficient, especially as one of the two fish is ready for feeding time as soon as I near the tank, whilst the other one isn’t and she manages to eat most of the food .. can you do a video on actual fish feeding showing how much food you put in please? I’ve struggled to find this in pictures despite my Google search so I thought someone with a title like Nerdy Fish Girl sounded like just the person to help 🥰. Many thanks
I was watching a tutorial with the new Game "Ready or Not" but ended up here......I gotta go toss bread to the ducks in our communal pond. goddamn it youtube, you win again.
I have a 20 g long with zebra danios , oto cats and now a dwarf gourami . So far so good but the gourami definitely seems shy and the danios .. well are danios and can be a bit much for any fish . I’ve heard that you shouldn’t keep danios with gouramis because they (gouramis) are used to a gentle atmosphere but I’ve heard they make okay tank mates . We’ll see !
Nice and short video..👍👍 keep it coming..so you prefer this waterfal kinda aquarium tank (seen behind you in this vid) over ordinary tank setup? If yes why?
I have a 23 gallon Community Tank with one male dwarf gourami, 4 skirt tetras and several neon tetra (and a few nerites). The gourami doesn't seem to notice the smaller neons at all, but he does seem bothered when the skirt tetras come into his space. i thought he wouldnt be bothered by them since they are smaller than him and not colorful, but he chases them out of his space, which is front and center.
This fish is available here (BD) in sufficient quantity as food fish . This fish tastes good . Abundant quantities are found in the canals and ponds on the side of the village . The color of this fish is very colorful during rain season . this fish sold in local area less then 1 USD per KG.
I'd think so man. They're pretty slow moving fish in general unless they get scared. Although 99% of the time they just chill and float around the tank slowly and they don't get that big.
Would they do well with a school of cardinal tetras? I’m new to aquariums and am setting up a 29 gallon tank. I’d would like to have: - Dwarf Gouramis - Cardinal Tetras - Bristle-nose Plecos
I’ve set up mine and got one when I started and got a dwarf gourami and he passed away got another one and he passed away but none of the others fish haven’t and seem to be happy I’m at a lose here
I have 5 zebra danios and a fire dwarf gourami and I am thinking of getting some rabaras. I used to have rasbaris and loved them..But my lamp eye tetras killed them! I’ll never get tetras again. They are scared all the time, not fun to me...
That is probably because you have received misinformation about what an actual female IS, sorry to say but you probably have 2 males unless the female is a silvery colour with very faint dwarf gourami stripes. Anyways hope they are are still getting alone fine and living happily!
@@ItsSweetShot Yeah the “female” is definitely a male. He’s since grown a more pointed dorsal fin. He just seemed like a female at first because his dorsal fin was rounded and he’s got a fat little belly lol. But they both get along fine for the most part, they just chase each other around every now and then.
Is it okay to have only females in a tank? I have a 10 gallon tank so I was thinking of getting 2 gouramis but I don't really want them to breed. Some sites also say that 3 gouramis in a 10 gallon is fine too but idk I feel like that's not enough room?
Great video. I have two males the smaller one seemed to be frightened. He was swimming erratically and staying at the bottom. I took him out and treated him for swim bladder disease but I don’t know if he’s going to make it. I did an epsom salt dip for 20 minutes in a small critter tank and changed the water with prime and then added a little aquarium salt. I also boiled some frozen peas and peeled one and out it in the little tank. He is still alive but lying in the bottom of the tank. I put an almond leaf in my here as well. I hope me makes it. Thank you for all your videos.
@@Y0oisaac thanks. I just got 1 male today! If I add another should it be male or female? I heard 2 males will fight in a 10 gallon and also heard the male will constantly chase a female...
@@fieldofreeds8581 That is actually super incorrect. I have 3 male dwarf gouramis and they leave eachother alone. occasionally i will see them chasing eachother around but you can definitely keep 2 or more as long as your tanks big enough and heavily vegetated.
I have been doing a lot of research the past few days because Ive stupidly watched a few videos on YT including this 1 and went out and bought 2 females and 1 male WELL.. what I thought was 2 females in actual fact they were ALL males despite listening to the advice that the females are curved dorsal fins INCORRECT female dwarf gouramis are mainly silver or a very dull red and blue, the ones that are a very vibrant blue and red striped color are 100% males and it amazes me how much false information there is floating around, and the ppl that say 2 vibrant blue and red gouramis have lived together fine that is because 1 of them is probably a sub dominant male and or they have a nice personality BUT you wont be breeding them!

Those are Beautiful Blue iridescent Dwarf Gouramis indeed! Thank You So Much for the Valuable Tutorials on Fish Keeping! Stay Safe & Stay Humble! 🕯🌷🌿
Great info as always, but I think I’ll definitely need a heater, got snow forecast in Scotland for next 7 to 10 days 🤓
Wow! I wish we would get some snow! Winter this year here has been more like fall part 2.
In south india these fishes can be found in some lakes . So I think I don't need any heaters
I have blue gularis with dwarf gourami and the combo is amazing
Thanks I’m getting them today and this has helped me learn alot

I had tiger barbs with a pair of dwarf gourami and they actually get along, I have never seen any fin nipping
@Yusra Sheikh they have been doing fine for a year, so it has worked out
Tiger barbs are not a good tank mate. From personal experience.
@@calebhall7856 and from my experience they are
@@calebhall7856 so far my tiger barb with serpae tetra and blue pollar parrot doing fine.
I have 6 of them, and they are very very beautifull, and my all fishes is my family for me.
This makes me want some kili fish the bigger kind & thnx for the care tip.

Is it ok to keep gouramis with duckweed?
Not only are u informative, but gosh, ur so pretty.
Thinking about starting a 10-gallon tank with one male for the centerpiece. A few zebra danios and 2 cory catfish to keep it company
2 cories are not enough, aim for at least 4

Beautiful gouramis..
When you looked at that gourami, did you turn into a dwarf?
Hey can you talk about chytrid I adf just died of it 😢
I’m looking to get 3 of these in a 20 gallon will they have enough space?

I have a male and female dwarf gourami and surprisingly, the female is always the more dominant of the two lol

Did he make through ?
They can stay with a skunk loach?
Gouramis🐟
DG's with Harlequins is such a great set up
What happens if I kept 5 to 10 female dwarf gouramis? I need to know
You would need a decent sized tanked
I have a dwarf gourami in a 10 gallons tank. Is it too small to add tank mates?
you can keep a few tetras in there if you’d like. or a few cories at the bottom

2 with real plants

yes

Can I keep one of them alone or do I have to get them with tank mates
theyre very social! So you should get them a friend or else they'll likely be sad and droopy all the time.
@@jqegqr7462 ok thank you
Tank mates are good but unless you have a huge tank with lots of variety do not just get two male gouramis… they will kill eachother.
@@fieldofreeds8581 That is actually super incorrect. I have 3 male dwarf gouramis and they leave eachother alone. occasionally i will see them chasing eachother around but you can definitely keep 2 or more as long as your tanks big enough and heavily vegetated.
@@jqegqr7462 That's what I said-- multiple gouramis are fine if you have a large tank with lots of variety.
