Blue Paradise Gourami Fish

Blue Paradise Gouramis have bright teal and orange vertical stripes. Their tail fins are more orange, while the rest of their body shows a deep teal blue. They grow to about 4 inches in length. Males have longer fins and often have more vivid colors, especially around breeding. These peaceful gouramis enjoy warm water 72-80 °F and tanks with lots of plants for hiding and exploring.

We care for each Blue Paradise Gourami for 14+ days before shipping. They go into breather bags and are shipped in insulated boxes lined with recycled foam insulation, then shipped overnight so they arrive healthy and stress‑free. Every order includes a 100% live arrival guarantee.

Please Note: All fish shipments have a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when shipping with Overnight (1 Day) option. All other options void our Live Arrival Guarantee for fish.

Blue Paradise Gouramis

I ordered two of these fish. They arrived healthy and are enjoying their new 20 gal planted tank, each claiming their territory on opposite sides of the tank. Their hues of light blue and pink make these beautiful fish fun to watch. I have them with a group of six cherry barbs and one green cory. They all coexist nicely thus far, making a colorful freshwater tank.
Very happy with these fish.
