Dwayne Brown Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I am considering getting a few sparkling gouramis. My questions are. Are they hardy? Are they super sensitive? Do they need to eat special food? Are they easy to feed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Sparkling Gouramis are reasonably hardy. They do well in small, heavily planted tanks with low flow. They can sometimes make a strange croaking / clicking sound underwater. I’d not keep them with aggressive fish. Watch Foo the Flowerhorn’s channel for a long, regular video series on sparkling Gouramis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 They really like live foods like baby brine shrimp and mosquito larva, but they will eat prepared foods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 A lot depends on breeder. Several years ago this fish was hard to find in Western Pennsylvania. So, when I found them I purchased 2 dozen of some of the saddest looking fish ever. But once I got them healthy they weren’t all that hard to maintain and spawn. They seem to enjoy the Hunt of live food. I also used it to encourage spawning. My all time favorite live foods are 01. Black Worms 02. Brine Shrimp 03. Mosquito Larva Good Luck 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
