Honey Gourami (Colisa chuna)

yoink

Honey gouramies need a well planted tank, with peacefull tankmates. Gouramies, like all labyrinthfish, have a special organ called the labyrinth with which they can take up oxygen from the air above the water of the tank. The tank should have a lid, so that the air above the water stays warm and moist and fit for the gouramies to "breathe". I've kept a pair of these a few years ago. It wasn't long before the male started making a bubblenest and eventually I had about fifty fry. I managed to raise only one of these fifty to adulthood; raising the fry of these fish is difficult because of their smallness when they hatch.
