Description
The Dwarf Honey Red Gourami Fish, otherwise known as Colisa chuna, is another example of an omnivore Labyrinth Fish that needs access to the surface of your aquarium to breathe. This fish has been added to our inventory by popular demand, as they are sought after for their appealing small dwarf size. Both males and females share the same golden coloring, but the males tend to be more honey-red with prominent striping during courting and spawning.
They are a very peaceful fish, and are also not picky eaters. During spawning, the male will build a bubblenest and may become territorial toward other fish. Males should be removed from the tank after spawning and the females should be removed a couple days after hatching, as they will eat the fry. These fish prefer a heavily planted aquarium. These are an ideal addition to most community tanks with livebearers, Tetras, Danios, Rasboras, Rainbowfish, Loaches, Barbs, plecos, and most scavengers.
