The Three Spot Gourami (the third spot being the eye) is probably the hardiest of the commonly kept gouramies. They are not fussy about water conditions or diet, even happily tolerating slightly cooler temperatures (18-20 C). Both sexes are very similar in appearance; mature males have longer more pointed dorsal fins. Alternatively known as the Blue Gourami, it is very easy to care for and grows to 10-12cm. Several different coloured aquarium strains are available, all quite popular sellers.
