Powder Blue Gouramis are peaceful fish that do well in most community aquariums. This fish is like the Betta Splendens in that it needs access to the water surface for using its specialized labyrinth organ in case of low oxygen levels. Therefore, it is very important that water surface be exposed to fresh air. This is usually accomplished by using a hood that allows air ventilation. In case you are using good air pumps this is not necessary, since the air pumps will refresh the air above the water.
Powder Blue Gouramis are attractive fish. They have an almost translucent blue color, with vertical red to dark orange stripes. At maturity, this Dwarf Gourami will reach an average size of 4 to 5 centimeters, though some individuals can grow as large as 6 or 7 centimeters.
