Calm labyrinth fish; boisterous tankmates stress it

種の概要
Trichopsis pumila is a Osphronemidae from Southeast Asia. It gulps air at the surface, so warm, still, plant-covered water is home — and cold drafts are not. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 3–4.4 cm. Singly or in pairs; every gourami wants its corner. Give it warm, gentle water, floating plants and quiet neighbours; filter flow should barely ripple the surface. Maintain 25–28 °C at pH 6–7. A rewarding species for the aquarist who reads before buying.
