  • Hey All,
    Today I unboxed some Sparkling Gourami that I ordered online.
    These are a super cool nano fish, anabantoid, bubble nest maker with some really striking sparkling colours, as the name would suggest.
    Enjoy!

    Another fun fact about these guys is that they also make a really cool croaking noise!
    Let me know if you would be interested in a video on this when I am able to capture audio of it :)

      I would be extremely interested. I'm in the process of establishing an aquarium and am planning to stock it with mostly species of gourami.

      Do males and females croak or is it only males? I have five of those fish, but only one croaks

    A little late to the party, but just picked up a group of 5 sparkling gouramis today. They're about 3/4", so they have some growing to do.

    These are very personable fish. I love how they are so curious & how they fake each other out. Their blue eyes are amazing and they can certainly hold their own. They are a very easy beautiful fish which eat anything I've given to them. They really like floating plants. Good luck with your new additions. You will love them. Yes, for capturing their croaking.

    I almost ordered some from Nano Tanks Au last week.
    Went with 6 more Borneo suckers instead and the large tool holder with 3 bottle holding holes (Fert, scraps and to plant plants perhaps).

    New to your channel. Surprised you only acclimate to temperature and don’t drip. Everyone’s water is so different.

    • @BlakesAquatics
      @BlakesAquatics  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Depends on the fish and how they got to me. If fish are shipped i prefer to not have the fish in the water once it is exposed to air as the ph sharply drops when the bag is opened 👍

    Totally off topic, but is that sword Fern in your filter!?! I have been wondering if ferns would work like house plants growing out of a tank.
    Also, my son is setting up a 20g rimless tank and thinking about either Sparkling Gouramis or possibly Moonlight Gouramis. Do you need a very established tank, or would a cycled, but newly established tank be ok as long as it's heavily planted?
