The Dwarf Croaking Gourami (Trichopsis pumilus) is sometimes called a Pygmy Gourami, a Pigmy Gourami, or a Sparkling Gourami. It belongs to the family named Belontiidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 1.5 inches in length, the Dwarf Croaking Gourami is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. Based on the particular specimen you acquire and its environment, the time when it is most active can fluctuate day or night, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Trichopsis pumilus should not be housed in a tank less than 10 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 6.0 - 7.0, temperature between 72 - 78 degrees fahrenheit, Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places and planted aquarium.
