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. 

Key points about Dwarf Honey Gouramis:

  • Appearance: Males are more brightly colored than females, with a vibrant orange-yellow body, often with a darker throat area during breeding, while females tend to be a more muted brown. 

Temperament:

Generally peaceful, but males can become territorial during breeding, especially towards other males. 

Tank requirements:

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. 

Diet:

Omnivores, accepting a variety of food including flakes, frozen foods like brine shrimp, and algae. 

Breeding:

Males build bubble nests at the water surface and aggressively guard the eggs. 

Scientific name:

Trichogaster chuna
