Males display an intense, deep red body with bold black and white lateral striping — a combination that makes them truly stand out in a planted aquarium. They are a peaceful, slow-moving species that thrives in soft, acidic blackwater conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 40L; best kept in groups of 8 or more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Parameters:\u003c\/strong\u003e pH 4.5–6.5 | Temp 24–28°C | Soft, acidic blackwater conditions preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivorous — micro pellets and flake food; supplement with live or frozen daphnia, brine shrimp nauplii, and micro worms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; males may display to each other but rarely cause harm — best kept with other small, gentle species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank Setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavily planted aquarium with tannin-stained water, floating plants, and dim lighting; leaf litter and driftwood ideal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chloe's Aquatic Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52976556474690,"sku":null,"price":5.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/0128\/8258\/files\/FullSizeRender_fe7601bb-761b-499f-9b31-22b670f5b717.jpg?v=1777330898","url":"https:\/\/chloesaquaticcentre.com.au\/products\/licorice-gourami-2cm","provider":"Chloe's Aquatic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
