Gouramies

Gouramies are freshwater fish.The fish are native to Asia,from Pakistan and India to the malay archipelogo and northeasterly towards Korea. Many gouramies have an elongated ray at the front of their pelvic fins. Many species show parental care: some are mouthbrooders,and others, like the siamese fighting fish(betta),build bubble nests.Gouramies have a lung-like labrinth organ, that allows them to gulp air and use atmospheric oxygen.This organ is a vital innovation for fish that often inhabit warm, shallow, oxygen-poor water.

The pink gourami is a beautiful, peaceful fish. Great for first time fish owners.They work well in community tanks.It's hard to tell male from female, but if you look above the tank, the male is much more slender.

The blue gourami is a very nice first time fish.They do well in community tanks.It's not that hard to tell male from female.Male's dorsal fin is longer and more pointier and the female's is shorter and more rounded.

Dwarf gouramies are the smallest gouramies and they grow to be about 1''. Their good for community tanks.

Pearl gouramies are a very nice welcome into the community tank. They are very good for first time owners.
