The Gourmi Fish

     Next I would want to show you the Blue Gourmi. Commonly found in your local pet store and fresh water ponds in South Africa and Asia, the Blue Gourmi is one of the 12 species of Gourmi. They are very vibrant and colorful, they can also grow about 2 feet, but don't be worried about them exceeding your fish tank. Gourmis typicly stay about 2-3 inches. 

 

     They will fight with each other if they are both male or if they are both female. they do better with 5 or more or 1 male and other females. They love bigger tanks, perferabley 10 gallon or more, and with lots of plants and other decor.

 

     They are fun to watch and raise they also do good with; tetra, bottom feeders, angelfish, and other species of Gourmi if same size. Gourmis are hungry fish, they can eat ALOT, but do not over feed. Fish will eat and eat until they give out. Gourmis usually eat, fish flakes, blood worms, fish frozens, (Brine Shrimp etc.) diced peas, and lettuce.

 

     They are my favorite fish because they are so cute and easy to take care of, I hope you raised your tropical fish knowledge.
