Dwarf Gourami

The Dwarf Gourami (Trichogaster lalius) is one of the most popular gourami fish for sale thanks to its bright color, small size, and peaceful personality! This small gourami is a great choice for community aquariums and adds awesome bold color without needing a huge tank!

The orange gourami variety is especially eye catching, with rich orange tones and subtle blue striping depending on the strain! They’re a great pick if you’re looking for an orange and blue fish that stands out against plants and darker substrate. When hobbyists explore different dwarf gourami colors, the orange gourami fish is always a favorite because of how vibrant it is!

Dwarf gouramis stay around 2-3 inches, making them a true small gourami species that does well in 10-20+ gallon tanks. They are peaceful overall and pair well with other calm community fish like tetras, rasboras, and corys. Males tend to show the strongest color, especially in the orange gourami strain.

Dwarf Gouramis are labyrinth fish and can breathe air from the surface, which helps it adapt to a range of stable freshwater setups. With proper care, clean water, and a well planted tank, they are hardy and beginner friendly fish while still being a beautiful focal point.
