Small, shy labyrinth fish. Males turn deep honey-orange when in breeding condition. Less prone to disease than Dwarf Gourami. Surface air access required.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
