The Pearl Gourami (Trichopodus leerii) is a stunning freshwater fish known for its elegant appearance and distinctive pearl-like spots across its body. With a slender, laterally compressed body and long, flowing fins, this fish adds a graceful and colorful touch to any aquarium.
Pearl Gouramis are peaceful and do well in community tanks with other non-aggressive species. They thrive in well-planted aquariums that provide hiding spaces and moderate swimming areas. These labyrinth fish can breathe atmospheric air, making them resilient even in low-oxygen water. With proper care and a balanced diet of flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods, Pearl Gouramis can live up to 5–7 years.
