Driftwood, botanicals, floating plants, and leaf litter help recreate their natural blackwater habitat while providing security and encouraging natural behavior. As labyrinth fish, they breathe atmospheric air and require unobstructed access to the water's surface. They prefer a diet of small live and frozen foods such as baby brine shrimp, daphnia, microworms, and finely sized prepared foods to maintain optimal health and coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5–2 inches (4–5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75–82°F (24–28°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.0–6.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e No, best kept as pairs or small groups in a species-focused aquarium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith their exquisite iridescent markings, peaceful temperament, and fascinating natural behaviors, Liquorice Gourami \"Linkei\" are an exceptional choice for dedicated aquarists looking to recreate an authentic blackwater habitat and care for one of the freshwater aquarium hobby's most enchanting nano fish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fintastic Fish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49514044195054,"sku":"igp1788061136420","price":2.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/4347\/1598\/files\/liquorice-gourami-linkei_1.jpg?v=1788061139"},{"product_id":"apistogramma-borelli-opal","title":"Apistogramma Borelli \"Opal\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApistogramma borellii \"Opal\" (Opal Dwarf Cichlid)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Apistogramma borellii \"Opal\" is a stunning color variety of the Yellow Dwarf Cichlid, prized for its shimmering blue iridescence, golden-yellow accents, and graceful finnage.
