What is the dwarf gourami?
Dwarf, or Colisa Lalia, is a freshwater fish that came from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, and maybe Myanmar and Nepal. These fish now inhabit fresh waters in other parts of the world, including the United States. In the wild, dwarf goures usually live in lakes or slowly moving streams with abundant water plants. These fish are a popular aquarium for tropical fish enthusiasts. Males have vertical blue -green stripes that excel in a clear reddish orange background. Females, which are less colored than males, have a light yellow vertical strip on a silver blue background.
Dwarves prefer water temperatures between 77 and 82.5 degrees Fahrenheit (25 to 28 degrees C). The recommended pH level is 6.0 to 7.5 and the recommended DH is between 5 and 19. The absolute minimum tank -ranking for two dwarves is 10 gallons (about 38 liters). As with any other fish tank, the greater the ratio of water to the fish, the healthier and happier it is that rYby will probably.
Colisa Lalia are non -aggressive fish. They can be held in community aquariums if other fish are similarly aggressive. If the tank has more than one adult male dwarf, fish can become territorial. In this case, a large tank may have a territorial problem that includes many aquatic plants. They usually spend most of the time in the middle to upper range of the tank.
Dwarves are all -powerful or eat meat and plant meals. While these goures can only live on commercial tropical flakes fish feed, they can lose their bright colors if only this food is offered. To make these colors bright, fish should also eat live food, such as brine like shrimp like plankton.
Colisa Lalia, under certain circumstances, is reproduced in captivity. People who want to breed this goures should set up SAMoostal aquarium. The water levels in the tank should be between 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) with a water temperature between 82.5 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (28 to 30 degrees C). Male gouries will use plant material that should be easily accessible in the tank to create a bubble nest. The bubble nest is a combination of plant materials, bubbles and secretion from the fish mouth that holds all the ingredients together.
After women or females have ceased to lay eggs, women should be removed from the tank because the man will be the main carer. If everything is successful, the eggs hatch within two days. Smah, or children's fish, will remain in the bubble nest for about three days. At this point, the man should also be placed in another tank because the man will fry for food.
