Unlike many aggressive gourami species, it is a perfect candidate for nano tanks and calm community aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuick Profile Summary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScientific Name: Trichogaster chuna (Red color morph)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMax Size: 1.5 to 2 inches (4 to 5 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifespan: 4 to 6 years with proper care\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTemperament: Very peaceful and slightly shy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare Level: Easy (suitable for beginners)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial Trait: Labyrinth organ allows them to breathe atmospheric air at the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTank Setup \u0026amp; Water Parameters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Honey Gouramis originate from slow-moving, heavily vegetated waters in India and Bangladesh. They require an environment that mimics these calm conditions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinimum Tank Size: 10 gallons (approx. 38–40 liters) for a pair or small group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater Temperature: Warm water between 74°F and 82°F (23°C to 28°C).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epH Range: 6.0 to 7.5 (slightly acidic to neutral).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater Hardness: Soft to medium low hardness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiltration: Very gentle water flow. Strong currents stress them out and disrupt their ability to swim or build nests. Use sponge filters or adjustable hang-on-back filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAquarium Decor: Heavy live planting is essential. Use a mix of tall background plants (like Vallisneria or Java Fern) and floating plants (like Duckweed or Frogbit). Floating cover blocks harsh light and makes them feel secure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiet \u0026amp; Nutrition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fish are omnivores and are not picky eaters.

If keeping multiple, keep more females than males (e.g., 1 male to 2 females) so the females are not constantly harassed by breeding behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53430574285097,"sku":null,"price":14.75,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/4325\/2521\/files\/Micro-Pellets_20260816_205520_0000.png?v=1786899346","url":"https:\/\/jasminaquaticsstore.com\/ar\/products\/red-honey-gourami-trichogaster-chuna-3","provider":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
