Licorice Gourami Parosphromenus Deissneri 3cm

“Discover the enigmatic Licorice Gourami (Parosphromenus deissneri), a captivating gem native to the blackwater habitats of Southeast Asia. Known for its striking iridescent sheen resembling dark licorice, this small, peaceful species adds rare elegance to aquascapes.

Originating from the peat swamps of Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, these gouramis thrive in soft, acidic water conditions. They prefer densely planted aquariums with subdued lighting and tannin-stained water, replicating their natural habitat.

Feeding on small live and frozen foods like daphnia, brine shrimp, and micro worms, they appreciate a varied diet. Ensure their meals are appropriately sized to suit their tiny mouths.

When it comes to tank mates, opt for peaceful companions such as small rasboras, peaceful dwarf shrimp, or other non-aggressive species that share their preferences for gentle environments. These gouramis are best kept in pairs or small groups, reducing stress and showcasing their natural behaviors.

Their demeanor is notably calm, displaying minimal aggression, making them an ideal addition to community tanks. However, maintaining stable water parameters and providing suitable hiding spots is crucial for their well-being.

Due to their sensitivity to water quality and specific requirements, intermediate aquarists with experience in managing soft water ecosystems will find these gouramis rewarding to keep. Aim for a pH range of 4.0 to 6.0, with temperatures around 75-82°F (24-28°C), and maintain excellent water quality to ensure their longevity and vibrant colors.

Introduce the Licorice Gourami to your aquascape to enjoy the tranquil beauty and serene nature of this stunning species.”
