Licorice Gourami

Licorice Gouramis are stunning and delicate nano labyrinth fish known for their iridescent striping and vibrant fin displays—especially in males. Native to blackwater streams in Southeast Asia, they thrive in soft, acidic, heavily planted aquariums with subdued lighting and calm tank mates. These fish are best suited for experienced aquarists due to their sensitivity to water quality.
