Male Vs Female Pearl Gourami
The lfs was honest in saying that he wasn t sure if the fish is male or female but he thought it was a male.
Male vs female pearl gourami. Floating plants and loose branches of aquatic plants are a good option to consider. I am interested in having 3 pearl gouramis 1 male and 2 females so i would like to know the sex of this one before purchasing any companions. The male is the dominant mate but the female is the one who makes the choice in regards to breeding.
Addition of plants is a must. The best way to sex gourami fish is by their fin differences. To prepare gouramis for breeding feed them a varied diet that includes flake food algae wafers or spirulina flakes along with freeze dried bloodworms tubifex and brine shrimp.
The top dorsal fin will come to a point as it gets older and protrude past the tail on a female it ll never go past the tail but it will be rounded at the end. Types of gourami fish. The behavior of pearl gourami.
I am going to elaborate more on the behavior of pearl gourami to make it easier for you to take care of these fish. They then become difficult to handle. However if the male to female ratio is too high the male fish develop aggressive behavior.
A ph between 5 5 and 7 5 is what works perfectly for them. Males are pointed females are rounded. The body of pearl gourami is covered with an array of white spots.
I purchased one pearl gourami from a lfs and added it to my tank.
