| It's that time of year again, folks! Add one Heat Pack per order to ensure your new friend's comfort during shipping. Heat packs aren't required but are highly recommended. Orders without them won't be covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee if your local weather is below 40°F. |
The Sparkling Dwarf Gourami (Trichopsis pumila), is a tiny labyrinth fish with iridescent green, blue, and red spotting coloration.
Gouramis require an aquarium with dense vegetation and plenty of cover. Slow to moderate water movement is preferred, and turbulent conditions should be avoided.
Males can be a little territorial with their own species, and it is possible to keep this fish with peaceful invertebrates, but vigilance and caution are necessary.
Algae-based flakes, carnivorous flakes, and meaty frozen or freeze-dried items should make up a Sparkling Dwarf Gourami's balanced diet. It doesn't have a picky palate.
Care Parameters:
- Ideal Temps: 72-82°f
- PH: 6-7
- GH: 70- 300 ppm
- Temperament: Peaceful and timid. Can be kept in groups, but males can be territorial with one another.
I ship insulated with medicated water, and Purigen, by tracked and insured USPS Priority only, and use cool packs when needed.
Do consider purchasing a heat pack if the temperatures in your area are below 40 degrees!
Please arrange to pull these little guys right indoors once they arrive to your mailbox. USPS also has a free mail hold service on their website. Please utilize this service if no one can be home.
While in quarantine before being sold, we treat all our live fish with the ‘Med Trio’; Maracyn for Bacterial infections, Paracleanse for internal and external parasites, and Ich-X for fungal infections.
