Description

Blue gourami are the blue colour variant of the three-spot gourami, a fish from the Mekong basin and wider South East Asia, including southern China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar and Malaysia. Growing up to 15cm in length, these freshwater fish are adored for their blue colouration.

Blue gourami can be aggressive. Adult males scrap with one another, so be mindful when choosing tank mates and consider plants to break up lines of sight.

In store we feed our blue gourami EBO Pro Soft Artemia, Spirulina and Mussel as well as frozen and live foods such as daphnia and bloodworm.

Every aquarium is different. These are a guide based on water chemistry, adult size and temperament. Individual fish have their own personalities. Introduce new tank mates gradually, keep groups at the right numbers, and watch how everyone settles in. Ask our team if you'd like advice for your setup.

Ordering livestock

We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.

If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.

If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
