Facts
The Giant Sparkling Gourami is a peaceful fish that should be housed with fish species of similar temperaments and sizes. Males and females are sexually dimorphic, with males being larger and having rays in the pelvic, dorsal, and caudal fins. They do best in a well-planted tank. 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. This species of Gourami are able to produce audible sounds, "croaking", through specialized pectoral mechanisms.
