Species Profiles
Honey Gourami
Trichogaster chuna
Honey gouramis are the gentlest gourami species — even more peaceful than their larger dwarf gourami relatives. Males display a warm honey-gold coloration that deepens to rich amber when breeding. At only 2 inches, they are perfect for nano community tanks. They are also significantly hardier than dwarf gouramis, which suffer from the iridovirus (DGIV).
