Blue Paradise Gourami

With its vibrant blue hues and graceful, flowing fins, this tropical fish adds a splash of elegance and color to your aquatic environment. Measuring up to four inches in length, the Blue Paradise Gourami is not only eye-catching but also easy to care for, making it perfect for both novice and experienced aquarists. Its peaceful demeanor and compatibility with a variety of tank mates ensure a harmonious underwater community. This gourami thrives in well-maintained tanks with ample vegetation and hiding spots, reflecting its natural habitat.

The Blue Paradise Gourami is a labyrinth fish. This fascinating feature enables it to survive in lower-oxygen environments, adding to its hardiness and adaptability. To maintain its vivid coloration and overall health, a diet of high-quality flakes, freeze-dried bloodworms, and brine shrimp is recommended. Observing the Blue Paradise Gourami's curious and interactive behavior provides endless entertainment, making it a delightful centerpiece for your home aquarium.

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.
