Honey Gourami (Trichogaster chuna)

Description

Honey Gourami (Trichogaster chuna) is a peaceful, hardy, and beginner-friendly freshwater fish that thrives in well-maintained aquariums. 

Size & Appearance

  • Adult Size: Typically grows to about 5 cm (2 inches) 
  • Coloration: Males are bright orange-yellow with bluish throats and orange-rimmed fins; females are more silver-gray 

Tank Requirements

  • Minimum Tank Size: 10 gallons for one fish. Add 10 gallons for each additional gourami to reduce territorial behavior
  • Water Parameters:
    • Temperature: 72–82°F (22–28°C)
    • pH: 6.0–7.5
    • Hardness: 4–10 dKH
  • Filtration: Gentle flow preferred to mimic their natural slow-moving habitat 
  • Plants & Decor: Include live plants like hornwort or water wisteria, plus hiding spots. Avoid overplanting the surface to ensure access to air (they use a labyrinth organ to breathe) 

Diet

  • Type: Omnivore
  • Food Options:
    • Algae-based flakes
    • Freeze-dried or frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, tubifex
    • Live foods for enrichment
  • Feeding Schedule: Twice daily in small portions 

Behavior & Temperament

  • Nature: Peaceful and shy, especially around larger or aggressive tank mates.
  • Activity: Active but non-aggressive; prefers the upper half of the tank 

Tank Mates

Honey Gouramis do well with similarly peaceful species. Great companions include 

  • Small schooling fish: Ember Tetras, Harlequin Rasboras, Neon Tetras
  • Livebearers: Guppies, Mollies, Platies, Swordtails
  • Bottom dwellers: Corydoras, Kuhli Loaches, Bristlenose Plecos, Otocinclus
