Diet: Offer a varied diet of high-quality flake food, live or frozen small invertebrates, and microorganisms. They have tiny mouths, so feed them appropriately sized foods.
-
Tank Size: A 10-gallon tank or larger is suitable for a small group of sparkling gouramis, but they can be kept in even smaller tanks due to their diminutive size.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable water conditions with a pH of 6.0-7.5, a temperature of 78-82°F (25-28°C), and excellent water quality through filtration and regular water changes.
-
Compatibility: Sparkling gouramis are peaceful and can be kept with other small, non-aggressive fish in a community setup. Avoid housing them with aggressive or fin-nipping species.
-
Tank Decor: Provide plenty of plants and floating vegetation, as well as areas with gentle water movement. They prefer low-light conditions.
