- This video is about How to keep the Opaline Gourami (Trichopodus trichopterus)
The opaline Gourami is a fish for beginners and advanced aquarists alike. It is easy to keep and feed.
The opaline gourami will reward its owner by bringing a brilliant blue to the aquarium. Whether you have it swimming through a live planted tank, or a treasure ship, it will explore all areas of the aquarium. In addition, over time, the fish has a reputation for showing a fondness for it's owners!
Like other gouramis the opaline is a labyrinth fish that can gulp air from the surface in addition to using its gills to pull oxygen from the water.
All in all this inexpensive fish is a great addition to the community aquarium, but also makes a fine addition to more advanced aquarium set-ups.
In this video, John talks about keeping the opaline gourami, and updates you on his planted 55 gallon aquarium.

My right ear was mising out!
Sorry. My bad.
Love the tank! I've found as my gouramis age they get more aggressive as well.
Good info. Thanks!
My two gouramis are very agressive towards each other, I’ve read that if you introduce more gouramis, they get more pacific i dunno
Nice, peaceful looking aquarium, John! (My first tank, a 20 gal [mostly live bearers and a couple of 3 spot gouramis] my dad put together, was in 1964!). Thought I'd mention that when I was in Vietnam, I was settled on a base camp for a bit so I drove out to the rice paddies and scooped up a few fish- one paradise fish and two three-spot gouramis! Yay! Kept them in a pickle jar, much to the confusion of Mama-San who wondered why anyone would keep fish in a jar...Best Regards, Paul.
Great story!
@@fincasters I've given you a list of far right fish. Gourami are Democrat🔵 that's my kind of fish. your kind is festivum cichlids, Florida flagfish🚩, northern and southern Studfish🚩, Oscar cichlids🚩, Golden wonder killifish🚩.
Nice gouramis! I'm also keeping 2 gouramis,a female opaline and male gold one,they are fighting with each other every minute， what should I do to prevent gourami fighting except separate them apart.
I call it "Phantom Death Syndrome." For me it happens with angelfish.
Your Opalines both look like females and those are not their pectoral fins I believe they are actually their ventral fins. Great tank set up, very beautiful
Today I finally got my first ever opaline gourami! She's gorgeous and very curious just an hour after being placed in the tank. Im hoping she will really love bpnding with me
Wow, you've got everybody living together peacefully, even multiple opalines which normally love to fight. I wish I could get my crypts to grow like that. You're a good fish dad!
Thanks!
@@fincasters if you haven't noticed the Opaline gourami,3spot Gourami, kissing Gourami, snakeskin gourami and giant Gourami are all DEMOCRATFISH🔵.) IF you want far right fish🚩 then get Florida flagfish, golden killifish, Oscar cichlid festivum cichlid severum cichlids southern and northern studfish those are your fish.
I love them to
Whatever happened to the LUPYLED? Is that LED light for sale if you’re not using it. Let me know thanks!
I have opaline gourami but the males are alwayes agrressive with each other .. i cant leave two males in the same aquarium .. i want to know what i can do.
Hard to stop the aggression without removing one to another tank. Sometimes a period of separation will let you put them back together.
My three spot yellow gourami follows Me from day 4 like goldfish do.
Interesting video.
Thanks!
Great video sir. I just got 2 gold gourami yesterday. They are so active. We also have 2 dwarf, 2 pearl and one large powder blue gourami. The powder blue was bullying the dwarfs. Now the the addition of more gouramis he stopped bullying. They all get along great.
The 3spots are the more agresive gouramis
Interesting... I have 3 opaline I just got a few days ago in with my silver lyretail mollies. They get along well with the mollies, but the biggest female (they're all female) gourami is attacking the others. The tank is too small for more opalines, but I wonder if getting some dwarf gouramis might get her to relax?
Great video 🍻
Bless all the fish that have gone to the great river in sky! Or sea
I really feel torn between these Opaline and Pearl gourami. I look for a fish that has a good personality and "loves it's owner"
are pearl Gouramis also really in to their owners?
I’m not sure. Might be a good next video!
We have 3 blue ones, One is huge about 5 inches now almost a year old, we had to put him in with the koi's because he started smashing all the others in their side ..LOL Now he thinks he is a Koi......we have a Gold Opaline she has to stay in 10 gal cube tank by herself cause she charges and smashes anything we have tried to put with her...but know that we have them straight, we love them. Great Video
Good info!
I have one that's like an inch long with my blood parrot cichlid, hopefully I don't need to put him by himself in the future.
Helpful video! I am a newbie to fish keeping, and I bought 2 small opaline gourami last week. I was concerned after getting them they would be aggressive towards my guppies, but so far everything has been peaceful! They are fun lil fish! They swim to the side of the tank when I come in and if i put my finger on the glass they will often swim up and follow it
I keep mine with guppies too. No issues!
Mine killed all of my guppies once he got a bit older.
Great video. Beautiful fish, and tank! Will the opaline adult be good in a 36 gallon bow front tank?
Thank you for the video. I have over 90 of these and they do definitely love their owner and are beautiful and incredibly easy to care for. The bigger ones are very protective of their aquarium. I reccommend not having more than 3 or 4 adults at a time depending on the size of your aquarium.
Thank you for this video! I can't wait to get an opaline gourami this weekend!
Beautiful tank John!
Thanks!
Could you do a video on the Blue Paradise Gourami and compare it to other gourami's? that would awesome! Would just 1 Opaline gourami or Blue Paradise gourami as a centerpiece fish for a 20 gallon tank be good? thanks.
An opaline would be slightly cramped in a 20 gallon
How on earth do you syphon your gravel with all those plants in there. Thnks
U dont siphon aquarium soil tanks. U just vacuum slightly over the substrate
what are you doing to make your gouramis get along so well?
Bigger tank, and he has alot of plants that creates visual blocks. Thats how he can keep them with guppies. Making an assumption based on what I see, but there's always behavioral outliers in different fish, maybe his are just very docile
I got one
