Pearl Gourami (Trichopodus leeri)

Price range: $7.99 through $10.99

A beautifully patterned gourami found throughout much of Southeast Asia, the Pearl or Leeri Gourami is found in shallow, slow moving waters in the wild, usually close to vegetation. In the aquarium, they are a hardy and adaptable species but can be territorial towards other fish, especially other gouramis. They are best kept in groups of five or more to diffuse any aggression between individuals and prefer a well planted aquarium with plenty of cover.
