The Sparkling Gourami is an adorable little fish. It makes a wonderful and unusual addition to a nano tank and sports and outstanding personality!

Nano Fish GEM!This gem of a Gourami has inched its way onto my top 10 favorite nano fish!
The vibrant colors of this Gourami are simply stunning,the colors seem to pulsate when its excited(feeding time)and I love the peacock like black dotting on its fins.
Personality wise my 3 are quite curious and investigate ever nook and cranny,they also just hang out with each other every so often which is neat to seePosted on

Adore these little gems!These are one of my favourite fish but very hard to find at your local aquarium store so I was very happy to see that Livefish stocked them. I bought 10 of them. Although initially concerned on how they would handle the long trip to NSW being such tiny fish, they arrived safely and all alive, just thin and pale from their journey but they soon settled in and coloured up. Thank you Livefish.
That was a year ago now and I still have all 10 of them. I keep them in a species specific tank to make sure they get enough food (as there is the possibility of starvation if kept in with other more active fish when competing for food), they are also far less timid and constantly building nests and breeding. I just adore these little fish!

Great fish, as orderedLovely little fish. Some size variation within 5 I received, healthy and picking at surfaces as a soon as they were introduced. Some tail deterioration visible but that should improve in my own tank. Do not aggressively pursue shrimp, as is commonly observed, yet.

Something DifferentI love these little guys. They don't school, preferring to wander in and out of the plants. When the light catches them their eyes and scales sparkle brightly. I've had my six for a couple months and they live happily in a Fluval Edge 2 (46l) with ... wait for it ... six glass cats, a pair of dwarf guaramis, a couple of dwarf loaches, a couple of dwarf corydoras, a chinese algae eater, 8 cardinal tetras, 6 burmese rummynose tetras. Yes, it's well and truly overstocked but test the water every second day - yet to see any problems.

Beautiful little fishI ordered 5 and they all arrived safe and although very pale from their travels they have settled into their new home very quickly and coloured up nicely. would definitely buy from Livefish again.

Tiny beautiful little fish!Ordered 5 of these little guys, all pale from travel but very energetic. Settled in immediately and have already started staking out little territories. Happily getting along with some Pygmy Corydoras. Already seeing so much personality! Mine are about the size of my fingernail. Really enjoying them, highly recommend!

Tiny little guysThese little babies are smaller than tetras but are happy to live in the plants.

Such beautiful littel fishI got 2 but am getting 2 more. These fish are so pretty and peaceful and they really do "Sparkle" in they right lighting. They live with my Dwarf Gourami's, Pacific Blue Eyes, and Gobies and all is great. They eat without a problem as long as you give them either live food, frozen or small micro sinking pellets. They won't come up to the surface to feed but as long as some food makes it onto plants or ornaments they'll happily pick it off in their own time.
Super happy with them, was worried as they are so small but no regrets. Make sure you have lots of plants in your tank for these fish cause they love to hide and play amongst them.Posted on

Awesome colours, very healthyAlmost 2 months ago I bought 6 of these for my AR 380 tank. They arrived at 2-3 centimeters in size, and have grown another 0.5cm since then. They are all still alive and healthy, and have amazing colours and personality! I have them with a couple of small kuhli loaches and a male endler. One warning, though: despite what I was led to believe (not by Livefish) they will not just snag a small cherry shrimp here or there, they will together actively hunt down and destroy shrimp of any size, large females preferred. They decimated my colony of 50 cherry shrimp in this tank!
