The blue gourami is probably the most famous of the gouramy family. They are easy to care for and can be kept with other fish of the same size. Blue gourami does not get along with other fish of its own species and this is especially true for males. It is recommended that you keep only one male in the aquarium. Some color morphs exist, some have different patterns and colors.
