Austin Raabe Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Has anyone kept both the croaking and sparkling gouramis, and if so, what did you perceive as differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I bought mine as sparkling gouramis, but they make a loud croaking sound. They are so small that my guess is they are Trichopsis pumila. I have referred to them as Croaking Gouramis also, but if they are what I think they are, then this is incorrect as they are probably not Trichopsis vittata.

From what I've seen, Croaking Gourami are a little larger (most say about 2", but some say 4") and more subdued coloration, also a little more robust, supposedly. https://www.tfhmagazine.com/articles/freshwater/gouramis-for-the-community-aquarium-part-1-dwarf-gouramis-full-article I'm about to find out, since I just got a pack of 6 vittata on sale from an online store, in part because I think they sound sweet and probably get overlooked, in part because they (and everyone else, seemingly) were out of stock of pumila.

Tetra Guy Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) The LFS told me sparkling gouramis only croak when they are breeding. Mine croak and breed frequently. I like them a lot. Edited February 4, 2021 by Tetra Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
