Description
The Silver Gourami (also known as Moonlight Gourami) is a species of gourami with a silver-coloured body, much like the shimmering moonlight. The Silver Gourami is native to the slow-moving waters of Thailand and can be found in lakes, bogs, and swamps. An aquarium set-up that mimics their natural habitat is ideal to keep them comfortable. Planted set-up and blackwater set-ups are the best to keep them comfortable and happy.
Silver Gouramis are a large gourami species and will gobble up any fish small enough to be seen as food. They are also calm swimmers, which means that overly active tankmates may stress them out. Some good tankmates for the Silver Gourami are other gourami species, Corydoras, Angelfish, and Tetras.
Omnivorous by nature, they are not fussy eaters and will accept commercially available fish foods in pellet and flake forms. Supplementary feedings of live or frozen foods also help benefit their health and colouration.
