Paradise Gourami – 2 to 3 Inch – Mixed Sex – Live Tropical Fish
The Paradise Gourami (Macropodus opercularis) is one of the oldest aquarium fish kept in the hobby and is admired for its bold personality and striking red, blue, and turquoise stripes. With flowing fins and vibrant coloration, they make an eye-catching addition to semi-aggressive community tanks.
Paradise Gouramis are labyrinth fish, able to breathe surface air as well as through gills, and are hardy enough to thrive in a wide range of conditions. Raised at our licensed Florida aquaculture farm, each fish is carefully selected for health and quality before shipping.
