Facts
The Blue Gourami should be housed with other fish of similar temperaments and sizes. Males may become territorial towards one and another, but alongside larger, more aggressive fish species they remain timider. Males have a long and pointed dorsal fin, while female dorsal fins are round and short. The Gouramis are labyrinth fish, meaning they have poorly developed gills, and need easy access to the water surface so that they can breathe using their unique breathing organ, the labyrinthine.
