Schaller ́s Croaking Gourami

The rare Schaller ́s Croaking Gourami, Trichopsis schalleri, is most suited for small aquariums that are calm such as a planted nano tank and should not be mixed in busy or crowded community aquariums. It can tolerate a normal range of pH levels (5-7.5) which makes it less demanding and moderately easier to keep when compared to other Licorice Gouramis. 

The Croaking Gourami can be maintained like other genus in this species under fairly dim lighting which where it generally does best, as well as adding aquatic plant species that can survive under such conditions such as Microsorum, Taxiphyllum or Cryptocoryne sp., while floating vegetation, especially Ceratopteris sp. is also useful.

Filtration need not to be too strong, with an air-powered sponge filter or similar can be adequate. A varied diet with live food preferably such as Artemia and other frozen food such as Daphnia are needed to maintain their condition.

Fish Size Guide:

The 'Maximum Size' outlined below is the length this fish can reach as a full grown adult. For the actual size please use the select menu above.

Discus.ae prefers younger stock for their better ability to adapt to new water parameters and higher tolerance against transport. On rare occasions you may receive larger specimens when small fish are unavailable, however the smallest should be expected unless the size is noted as "Large" or "Adult".
