Chocolate Gourami

Sphaerichthys osphromenoides

AnimaliaChordataActinopterygii

Ask Finn

A beautiful but demanding gourami from Southeast Asia, displaying rich brown chocolate coloration with pale yellow vertical banding and an iridescent sheen. It requires soft, acidic, blackwater conditions (pH 4.0–6.5, very low hardness), stable warm temperatures around 77–82°F, and is sensitive to water quality — best suited to experienced keepers.
