Species Spotlight
Why We Love This Fish
01
They Actually Croak
Males make a soft, audible croaking sound during courtship — one of the only freshwater fish species you can literally hear. Once you’ve kept Sparkling Gouramis, it’s hard to go back.
02
Iridescent Color Shift
The blue-green body and red fin markings shift with light and viewing angle. In a planted blackwater tank with dark substrate, Sparkling Gouramis look remarkable.
03
Planted Tank Specialist
Low flow, dense planting, soft water — the same setup that’s ideal for shrimp and snails is exactly what Sparkling Gouramis love. A natural fit for a quiet nano community.
Community Tank
Compatible Tank Mates
These nano fish coexist well with shrimp and other peaceful invertebrates.

Common Questions
Sparkling Gourami FAQ
Do Sparkling Gouramis really croak?+
Yes. Males can make a soft croaking sound during courtship and social interactions.
Are they safe with shrimp?+
Adult shrimp are often ignored, but shrimplets may be eaten.
Is there a live arrival guarantee?+
Yes. Every order is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Photograph any DOA in the sealed bag on delivery day and submit a claim through the Start a Claim page.
Can I keep more than one?+
Yes, but males can be territorial. Use plant cover and broken sightlines.
How are Sparkling Gouramis shipped?+
Fish ship Monday through Wednesday via Overnight / Next Day Air and typically arrive Tuesday through Thursday in insulated packaging with weather-appropriate protection.
Live plants give nano fish cover, reduce stress, and create a more natural aquarium. They help break up sightlines, provide shelter for shy fish, and support a healthier planted tank.
Add live plants to create cover, improve water quality, and build a healthier aquarium for your fish.
