Moonlight Gourami Trichopodus Microlepis 5cm

Overview: The Moonlight Gourami, with its ethereal beauty and serene demeanor, captivates aquarists with its shimmering silver body and subtle blue iridescence. Originating from Southeast Asia, this species is renowned for its peaceful nature and graceful presence, making it an enchanting addition to any tranquil aquarium setting.

Origin: Hailing from slow-moving waters across Southeast Asia, particularly found in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, the Moonlight Gourami thrives in densely vegetated areas with calm waters.

Feeding: These gouramis are omnivores, enjoying a diet consisting of high-quality flake or pellet foods supplemented with live or frozen fare like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small insects. Their varied palate ensures their health and vibrancy.

Tank Mates: Known for their peaceful temperament, Moonlight Gouramis harmonize well with other gentle species such as tetras, rasboras, peaceful barbs, and similarly mild-mannered gouramis. They prefer companions that won’t compete for food or display aggressive behaviors.

Aggression: Generally tranquil and non-aggressive, Moonlight Gouramis prefer calm surroundings and can become stressed in aggressive or boisterous environments. Keep them with species that share their peaceful demeanor to prevent undue stress.

Experience Level: Suitable for aquarists of various skill levels, these gouramis are forgiving of minor fluctuations in water parameters and are relatively easy to care for. Novices and experienced hobbyists alike can enjoy their beauty and tranquil nature.

Water Parameters: Optimal conditions include a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C), pH between 6.0-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water. A well-filtered tank with ample hiding spots among live or artificial plants replicates their natural habitat, ensuring their comfort and well-being.
