The Croaking Gourami is a colorful dwarf species of Gourami native to much of Southeast Asia, named for its ability to produce a unique croaking or purring sound, typically during spawning. The largest species in the genus Trichopsis, the Croaking Gourami is found in a wide range of shallow water habitats, from acidic blackwater swamps to quiet slow-moving clearwater creeks, usually found close to stands of aquatic plants or submerged vegetation. In the aquarium, they are an ideal resident of nano planted tanks, they are best kept in groups of 5 or more and make perfect tankmates for many of the popular species of microrasbora found throughout Southeast Asia in similar habitats.
