Facts
The Licorice Gourami is a shy, peaceful fish that should be housed with smaller fish species of similar temperaments. Males may become territorial towards one another. They do best in a well-planted tank that includes floating plants and require soft, slightly acidic water with good filtration. 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.
