Gold Gourami Snakin

✅The Gold Gourami Snakin is an aquarium strain of the Three Spot Gourami, very similar in appearance to the popular Gold Gourami, except in a lovely platinum-white version. One of the hardiest of the gourami, they are not fussy about water conditions or diet, even tolerating slightly cooler temperatures (18-20 C). Both sexes are very similar in appearance; mature males have longer more pointed dorsal fins. Maximum size is 10-12cm. 

Gouramis are an excellent addition to community tanks and will not predate on other fish. They are omnivorous and eager eaters. Males can become aggressive toward other colourful fish of the same size which it mistakes for other males and tank mates should be chosen carefully. Gouramis are air-breathers and must have good access to the water surface.

✅ This species is usually peaceful and can be kept with other species that are not too large or aggressive. 

✅ Platinum gourami are well suited to smaller aquariums as well as community aquariums.

Other things to consider before placing an order:

* Check to see if your tank has enough space.
* Ensure your tank is fully cycled.
* Ensure your new livestock is compatible tank mates for any other fish you currently have (in terms of habitat, species, requirements, temperament, and size)
* Ensure that your water parameters, habitat and temperature are suitable for the species you want to introduce.
* Do not stock your tank too quickly, or suddenly a large influx of fish can unbalance your water parameters that will affect the water quality.
* Do not feed your new fish for 24hrs. They need time to settle in and feel at home. Feeding them too quickly puts their health at risk, and it can even affect your water quality. If you have existing fish in your aquarium, feeding them before releasing the new fish is a good idea.
* Don’t be alarmed if, upon arrival, your fish, shrimp or snail look pale or lethargic. This is normal behaviour while in transit, and they should return to full colour and vibrancy after settling into their new home for a few days.

Also, be aware that livestock often gets stress and lose their colours after the long travel to you, this often happened to most livestock ( shrimps, guppies, plecos, and so on, kindly make sure you have the right set up, the aquarium must be fully cycled with the ideal parameters. Fishes and shrimps will often take from 3-7 days to fully adapt to the new home. If you have any concerns with your set up kindly talk to us or check out some online tutorials before purchase.
