Sphaerichthys vaillanti

25. April 2008

(25.April 2008) A real beauty made by nature is currently available: Sphaerichthys vaillanti. This fish, which is called red chocolate gourami, is without any doubt the best looking one of all 4 Sphaerichthys members. The water should be soft, not too cold (25-29°C) with a low pH (4,5-6,5). If you offer these water parameters, you will find in this item one of the best looking gouramis you ever saw! Important to notice that they only should be kept with other fishes, which also show a very calm and peaceful behaviour. If you will only keep this fish in your tank, you surely will be fascinated by their broodcare, because they are mouthbreeders. They eat all kind of food, including dry stuff, but for breeding them, we recommend live food.
