As a type of labyrinth fish, it relies on a lung-like labyrinth organ to breathe air from the water's surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite their common name, \"dwarf,\" they grow to a maximum length of two inches. Males, slightly larger than females, display a predominantly blue color with minimal red on the body, featuring pointed dorsal fins. In contrast, females maintain a duller silvery blue-gray hue and lack the vibrant colors of the males.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDwarf Gouramis are known for their blue-dominant appearance with hints of red on the body, representing a color hybrid of the Assorted Dwarf Gourami. This hybrid features bright orange-red bodies with turquoise blue vertical stripes extending into the fins. Another variation is the Flame Dwarf Gourami, characterized by almost solid red bodies and solid blue dorsal fins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically peaceful, these gouramis can coexist with other non-aggressive species, preferably those not too large or brightly colored. Tankmates may include peaceful, small schooling fish and most bottom-dwelling species, such as dwarf cichlids and small tetras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGouramis can be skittish in noisy environments, so it's recommended to keep them in a quiet location with ample vegetation, including floating plants covering part of the water's surface. They thrive in a neutral pH range, with water hardness between 4 to 10 dGH and an ideal temperature of around 25°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn their natural habitat, gouramis feed on small insects, larvae, and algae. In aquariums, they readily consume flake food, freeze-dried options, frozen foods, and vegetable tablets. A balanced diet includes periodic feedings of live foods like worms, particularly for breeding pairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMales, larger and more vibrantly colored than females, develop elongated dorsal and anal fins as they mature. In contrast, females have shorter, rounded fins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"base\"\u003eIf you have any questions or problems feel free to contact us!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sydney Aquascapes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47724705513577,"sku":"F0089","price":24.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2019\/6543\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_c5150257-7faa-486c-8a74-3cd9feffadf2.jpg?v=1782455285","url":"https:\/\/sydney-aquascapes.com.au\/products\/dwarf-cobalt-gourami","provider":"Sydney Aquascapes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
