A Dwarf Honey Gourami, also called a Honey Gourami, is a small, peaceful freshwater fish species often kept in community aquariums, known for its vibrant orange-yellow color, particularly in males, and its tendency to build bubble nests during breeding season; they are considered a good choice for beginner fishkeepers due to their relatively easy care requirements and docile nature, but males can become territorial when spawning.

A well-planted tank with plenty of floating plants is ideal for bubble nest building, and a minimum tank size of 10 gallons is recommended for a small group.
