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).

Danio rerio
Zebra danios are one of the hardiest, most energetic freshwater fish in the hobby. Their horizontal blue and silver stripes and constant darting motion add life to any aquarium. They tolerate a remarkably wide range of conditions, from cool subtropical to warm tropical temperatures, making them ideal for beginners. They are also the species used as the basis for GloFish.
