r/Gourami

So I’d consider my tank decently planted. But my honey gourami chases my ember tetras. Mostly after feeding time. But she also does it when I’m watching the tank. I assume it’s because they think I’m about to feed them. Is there anything I can do to stop the chasing? I feed her directly. I feed in separate areas of the tank. When I’m watching the tank from far away, they all seem to get along. Can I add any more plants? Or do I just need to get a bigger tank?

I was sold a gourami today at my LFS. It was labeled red honey gourami and come to find out, it’s not a honey. If somebody could tell me what kind of gourami I was sold that’d be great.

Hey all, so I've been missing having honey gouramis in my life lately. Specifically, I keep checking online and the local shops for years but no luck finding wild type Honey gouramis anywhere in Canada, maybe someone here knows of a supplier that breeds and ships these?

Edit, this was my pair from 2018, they had a handful of fry survive over the years but never activity tried to breed them to kept the colony going cause they're a cheap fish and used to be readily available, but now it's nothing but sunsets and golds available out there, sad.

Got my first gourami in March and I’ve fallen in love with the species. He has such a personality. We love Gorlami the gourami in this house

Does anybody know what this could be ? The tank had ich for 12 days and it was finally going away, but I noticed this today. He’s acting completely normal and eats his food. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your attention on the matter.

Hello!! I recently got a new fish for my community tank, I was told by my local fish store that it’s a Red Honey Dwarf Gourami. I got this one on the 13th, and it’s now the 17th and has already changed color drastically. I saw a lot of people saying that often Thick lipped gouramis are mislabeled as Red Honey Gouramis.. any help Is appreciated! Is the color change to grey normal? I put a before and after pick of the fish!

I thought we were buying a redder version of the honey gourami but after I got home and did some research I wonder if he's thick lipped.

I love him already and he's in a 10gal heavily planted tank, but I'm worried he'll massacre my shrimp 🥲

I have 2 honey gouramis and was told they were a male female pair, I know for sure one of them is male but he is very small and hides most of the day because his big evil girlfriend tries to fight him. Is this big evil girlfriend actually a male? They did have a faint black stripe when I first purchased them.

Noticed the tummy coloring is slightly more pronounced today, could this be a sign of bloating?

I just got home from a trip and my mom's was caring for my community tank while I was gone and I noticed this! Anybody have any idea what it is and if I should be concerned?

do you guys think these are 3 spot gourami/golden gourami fish eggs? or like close to hatching?

I really don't want to fear for the worst but I don't know if my one gourami has iridovirus above her eye or if it's just some injury
