Daily fish fact #382

Three spot gourami!

It gets its name from the two spots on its body, plus its darker eye — it is considered the “third spot”! The spots can be an indicator of the fish’s health, as they tend to fade when the fish experiences stress.

This guy is my favorite three striped gourami morph, a platinum. Unfortunately he's also the biggest jerk you've met, even for a three spot he's very dominant and aggressive.

I am so enamored of my two newest fish: Boeseman’s Rainbowfish! Wild Rainbowfish!

They’re like no Rainbowfish I’ve seen before! Monday is usually pet store day (there are a variety of animals at my house). First I went to my local independent pet store (which does have an aquarium section) for Dubia roaches, dog treats and to browse. Then I went to the next local spot which is exclusively an aquarium shop (the BEST shop, mind you) where I found these beauties. I couldn’t resist buying them. There were once three Aussie Rainbows in the big fish tank with Zip and Shy, but over the past few years their numbers have dwindled to just one lonely female. She’s old and seems skinny, too. These two beautiful males immediately changed her disposition and thankfully they began hanging out as a threesome. Unfortunately (and perhaps unsurprisingly) the little Powder Blue dwarf Gourami flipped into dick mode and is trying to stand his ground, but the new Bows are twice its size and I think they can handle him.

Their colors are amazing and remind me of an inverted Charlie Brown outfit. The light in my tank is SO green due to it being filtered through the jungle of plants that their blue to yellow comes out a bit muted. Also, I need to clean the exterior of the glass, but I didn’t want to frighten them more than I needed to on their first day here.

More pics to come soon!

Zip and Shy shared the tank with an Algae Eater for years and we recently lost them. I was tempted to take a pic of them when they died so everyone could see just how huge algae eaters can get (compared to my hand), but I was sad to lose a fish I’d raised for years and the picture taking was just too macabre.

I was at my lfs recently (which is yuuuge; I’m lucky to live here and don’t have to enter a Petco) and was really into these powder blue Gouramis, so I bought a pair, brought them home and shiiiiiiiit. It’s easy to forget just how f’ng big Zip and Shy Shy are when I’m staring at other fish. I was suddenly quite worried the Gouramis would be devoured instantly, but I had nowhere else to put them. They might kill everything in my setup of little fish and shrimp. Lucky for us all, they are thriving in the monster tank somehow. I think they’ve convinced Zip and Shy they’re bigger than they actually are.

Ok so I really don’t have any good pics of them at the moment, but in the first three pics of Shy looking like a leviathan you can spot a powder blue up and to her left in the vallisneria and another one behind her. The fourth pic is a blurry one from the morning when the tank lights aren’t bright and one of the blue man group was up front checking shit out.

For those of you worried about their safety, I’m now convinced they’re fine. They spend a lot of time in the top layer of vegetation, but that’s typical Gourami behavior and they don’t even seem too worried to be in the open water with the Ctenopomas so I don’t think they’re stressed. I’m hoping I can raise them to their max size like my other fish.

Pearl Gourami (Trichogaster leeri)

Origin: South East Asia

Size: 12 cm (4¾ in)

Tank size: 90 cm (36 in)

Temperature: 24–28°C (75–82°F)

Water parameters: Soft to neutral, pH 6–7

Ease of keeping: Moderate

Comments: A beautiful addition to any larger community, the Pearl Gourami has subtle coloration and graceful movements. Males have a red patch on the chest and a longer dorsal fin than the females. Keep in groups in a well-planted tank with more females than males.

Kissing Gourami (Helostoma temminckii)

Origin: South East Asia

Size: 20 cm (8 in)

Tank size: 120 cm (48 in)

Temperature: 24–28°C (75–82°F)

Water parameters: Around neutral, pH 7

Ease of keeping: Moderate

Comments: This is the pink form of the species; there is also a marble form. The kissing action is more a test of strength than an act of passion, but it has brought the species popularity. Balloon forms, line-bred from a genetic deformity, are available but should be avoided.

Three Spot Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus)

Origin: South East Asia

Size: 12 cm (4¾ in)

Tank size: 90 cm (36 in)

Temperature: 24–28°C (75–82°F)

Water parameters: Soft to neutral, pH 6–7

Ease of keeping: Moderate

Comments: The third spot in the patterning is the eye, giving the Three Spot Gourami its name. This species is also available in gold and blue striped forms. Males can be a little boisterous, so keep them in large, well-planted tanks with more females than males. Males have a longer dorsal fin.
