Gold Opaline Gourami | Male | Female | Breeding pair
Gold Opaline Gourami in the Video are a new addition to my 20 Gallon Aquarium. The Golden Gourami is sharing the Tank with Blue Opaline Gourami’s, Platies, Barbs, Loaches. The 2 Golden Opanline Gourami’s in the Video is a Male & Female. I’m hoping they would breed. They are both over 3 inches in length. In case they are ready to breed I might have to move them in a different tank as the male would be territorial.
Opaline Gold Gourami Information -
This fish are also called as marble gourami, the Gold & Blue are morphed form of the 3 spot blue gourami. There are other variants of Opaline Gourami, Blue Gourami, Silver Gourami, Platinum Gourami. The Golden Gourami does not occur naturally, apart from the markings on their body they share everything with the 3 spot gourami (Trichopodus trichopterus). These fish can grow up to 6 inches in length & live for over 5 years or more. They are Labyrinths which means they have an organ called Labyrinth which allows them to breathe atmospheric air. Opaline Gold Gourami are egg layers, the male builds a bubble nest & also protects the fry. The male Gold gourami has a dorsal fin which is pointed & long, the female opaline gold gourami has a dorsal fin which is rounded-off. This is shown in the Video. Apart from this the Female Gourami also has a round belly.

Tank Set up
Gourami tanks need plants in it, they like to hang around floating plants. Driftwood & rocks can also be used for tank decoration.
In thee Video I have used clay pots for plants as I have Loaches which burrow in sand & uproot the plants, the pots avoid ths to happen.
Tank mates - I have them with platies, barbs, mollies,pleco & loaches without any trouble.
Food
These fish are , Pellets, Freeze dried worms, Live & Frozen food can be fed.
Filtration - HoB Filter or sponge filter is best suited for gourami fish tank as they like low water movement. I’m using a sponge filter on either side of the Tank.
Aquarium Maintenance - If you have a similar set up as seen in the Video & same filtration. 25% water change weekly is necessary. The plants needs fertilizers I use root tabs for Amazon Sword, I use 5ml of CO2 Booster & 5 ml flourish weekly after water change. I leave the lights on for 12 hours a day. The clip-on lighting is LED light. I’m using a air-pump fitted on 2 sponge filters in the corners. The plants in the Video are Hygrophila, pennywort, amazon sword.
