Overview

Cobalt Dwarf Gouramis are a blue ornamental form of the dwarf gourami, also known as Trichogaster lalius or Colisa lalia. Supplied size: 4–5.5cm. Size at sale is not adult size.

Behaviour

A blue ornamental form of dwarf gourami. Males may defend planted territories and need quiet resting places near the surface.

Tank Size

We recommend at least 60 litres for one adult with suitable small companions; use a larger aquarium for additional gouramis.

Compatibility

Choose calm, peaceful tankmates. Avoid fin-nippers, aggressive gouramis and crowding territorial males together.

Diet

Feed fine omnivore foods, supplemented with small frozen or live aquatic invertebrates.

Care

Maintain stable water around 24–28°C and pH 6–7.5, with gentle filtration, plants and surface access. Quarantine additions and seek advice promptly if appetite or condition deteriorates. Use a fully cycled aquarium. Check appetite, breathing and equipment daily; test water regularly and keep ammonia and nitrite at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned, temperature-matched water and clean filter media in removed aquarium water.

Click & Collect only: order online and wait for confirmation before collecting from Newlands Home & Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. We do not ship live animals.
