Honey Gourami (Trichogaster chuna)
The Honey Gourami is a small, peaceful labyrinth fish admired for its gentle nature and warm, golden-orange coloration. Males display richer colors, especially during courtship, while females tend to be more subdued in tone. These fish thrive in calm, well-planted tanks and are an excellent choice for beginners and community setups. With their subtle beauty and low aggression, Honey Gouramis pair well with other peaceful fish and are often seen gliding gracefully near the surface or midwater.
