Gouramis
Gouramis – Elegant Surface-Dwelling Freshwater Fish
At Wonderworld Aquarium & Pet Centre, our Gouramis collection features colourful, character-filled freshwater fish perfect for community aquariums.
From Dwarf Gouramis and Honey Gouramis to Pearl and Three Spot varieties, these fish are known for their flowing fins, calm presence, and unique labyrinth organ, allowing them to breathe air from the surface.
Gouramis do best in established aquariums with gentle filtration, planted areas, and peaceful tank mates. Their curious nature and subtle territorial behaviour make them ideal centrepiece fish in medium-sized community tanks.
