{"product_id":"orange-thicklip-gourami","title":"Orange Thicklip Gourami | Trichogaster labiosa","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOverview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Orange Thicklip Gourami is the selectively bred orange or sunset form of Trichogaster labiosa, a species native to southern Myanmar. It grows larger than a Honey Gourami.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBehaviour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdults may reach 8–10 cm. Usually calm, but males can defend planted areas; watch for a weaker fish being confined to a corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTank Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur recommended minimum is 90 litres with an 80 × 30 cm footprint for a single fish or compatible pair. Use 120 litres or more for a small group, with dense planting and separate retreats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeaceful rasboras, tetras and suitable Corydoras are good options. Avoid fin-nippers, aggressive cichlids and very fast feeders. Keep apart from closely related Banded Gouramis to avoid hybridisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffer fine flakes or small granules with frozen Daphnia, Artemia or bloodworm. Feed in a quiet part of the aquarium so this slower feeder receives its share.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaintain 24–27°C, pH 6.0–7.5 and 5–15 dGH. Provide floating cover and gentle flow while leaving open access to the surface for breathing. Use a lid with an air gap. Keep ammonia and nitrite at zero and change 25–30% weekly with conditioned, temperature-matched water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLive Animals Are Click and Collect Only.\u003c\/strong\u003e Order online for collection at Newlands Home \u0026amp; Garden Centre, Clondalkin.
