To prevent confusion, here is a website that provides pictures of known dwarf gourami color variants. The male and female counterparts are shown.
Thanks. The ultimate proof how humans destroyed the natural beauty of the most beautiful fish excisting. There even isn't one male looking like it really should.To prevent confusion, here is a website that provides pictures of known dwarf gourami color variants.

Unfortunately yes. The dwarf gourami is a beautiful fish, and we shouldn't have altered it. Check out this wild caught one! Why did we have to change anything about this fish? Its natural beauty is so pretty!Thanks. The ultimate proof how humans destroyed the natural beauty of the most beautiful fish excisting. There even isn't one male looking like it really should.

Agreed!THE most beautiful fish !
Well like bettas I'm assuming that the males hold their own territories and live solitary, but I have seen a post on Instagram where a bunch of males from India I believe, were together grazing on algae.Does anyone actually know how they live in the wild? My assumtion is they are solitary based on behavior and a couple of videos i've seen of them in the wild. They're so often sold as pairs or groups.
Really interesting.Well like bettas I'm assuming that the males hold their own territories and live solitary, but I have seen a post on Instagram where a bunch of males from India I believe, were together grazing on algae.

This pic looks like to proof my expectation they only will form a "territory" during the matingseason (end of the dry season when temps get higher) to mate and protect the bubblenest and the fry.Well like bettas I'm assuming that the males hold their own territories and live solitary, but I have seen a post on Instagram where a bunch of males from India I believe, were together grazing on algae.

That makes sense. I don't think there would be anything to defend when it isn't the mating season, thus really nothing to be territorial about. Also from what I heard, wild dwarfs are far more peaceful than farm raises ones.This pic looks like to proof my expectation they only will form a "territory" during the matingseason (end of the dry season when temps get higher) to mate and protect the bubblenest and the fry.
Similar to Betta's, wild types are generally more peaceful.That makes sense. I don't think there would be anything to defend when it isn't the mating season, thus really nothing to be territorial about. Also from what I heard, wild dwarfs are far more peaceful than farm raises ones.
Thank you! But these are not my pictures! I don't deserve the credit, but you're welcome!Thanks for the awesome pics Arthur
Thanks! But the pictures are not mine, I take no credit for these.Similar to Betta's, wild types are generally more peaceful.
I would love to have a setup that could reflect this but I would be worried about housing a large number of "Domestic' male Dwarf's together. Maybe in the future I'll try it out.
Like Dutch said, thanks for the pictures
