| − | :Asia: Indonesia (Sumatra and Borneo) and Malaya. | + | |sexing=:Males can be distinguished from females by the white regions in the caudal fin, and the larger fins in adult fish. Males have a straight throatline, which is rounded in females. They are difficult to breed in captivity. |
| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:A sensitive and delicate fish that is best kept either in a species tank in a group, or with other soft water peaceful fish and can work with [[Discus]]. These fish do well in groups of around 5 individuals. | |
| − | + | |diet=:Prefers live or frozen food such as [[bloodworm]] and [[brine shrimp]]. May also take flake and pellet food. | |
| − | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. | |

They are difficult to breed in captivity. | + | |environment_specifics=:This fish is exceptionally sensitive to water quality, and may need several water changes a week to maintain healthy fish. These Gouramis can be used as water quality indicators for other sensitive fish like [[Discus]]. They appreciate the same water conditions as Discus with soft water and a low pH with a high temperature. |
| − | + | |behaviour=:A shy peaceful fish, although males can be territorial towards one another. | |
| − | + | |identification=:A fairly typical small Gourami shape, fairly oval body with a pointed snout. The body is a deep chocolate brown with several slender creamy-white vertical bands, usually 3 full ones on the flanks, one behind the eye, one down the mid-section of the body and one towards the caudal fin, there may be more white markings on the flanks. Not to be mistaken with ''[[Sphaerichthys selatanensis]]'' which has a pale lateral line. | |
