The Croaking Gourami is active and adds a unique presence to my tank. I provided plenty of plants and a quiet corner, and it’s adapted well. It’s not aggressive and enjoys the cover. A good choice for a planted aquarium.

I bought one for my 50-gallon tank with live plants. It’s calm and active during the day. I noticed it’s more peaceful when kept with other non-aggressive fish. Needs a stable environment to thrive.

The fish arrived healthy and seems to be adjusting. I’m still monitoring its behavior, especially with the male, which has been slightly territorial near the surface. More space might help.
