These gouramis are peaceful and do well in community tanks with other non-aggressive fish such as tetras, rasboras, Corydoras, and shrimp. They can be kept singly, in pairs, or in small groups. Males may exhibit mild territorial behavior during breeding but are generally non-aggressive. Avoid housing them with fin-nipping or aggressive species.

Growth and Maintenance:

Croaking Gouramis grow up to 6 cm and require stable water conditions to thrive. Perform regular water changes and maintain a clean environment to prevent stress and disease. Their ability to "croak" and their peaceful nature make them a unique and rewarding species for freshwater aquariums.
