Amazing video (like always). I had many types of gourami previously, but didn’t know that are so many typyes of them.

[@Aquadiction]

Krzysztof, glad you got to see something new :) Thanks for the comment as always :)

[@pelhamsaquatics]

Gouramis have been some of my favorite fish for a very long time… time to get some more! Great list!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Aquadiction]

Thank you Jeff, how this video is old now so surprised to see a comment haha! Gourami's were one of my very first fish as a kid, so underrated and so hardy for many species. Will have to have a tank of them again some day, thinking chocolate and samurai as I've never kept them

[@rajgill7576]

Paradise gourami ♡ just got a big one today

[@Aquadiction]

Thanks for sharing, yea they are pretty awesome fish for sure 👍👍

[@mraquaticnews5676]

Very rare gourami's. Cool list!

[@Aquadiction]

Thanks buddy :)

Awesome video! All in one place, thank you!

Your very welcome Dudo Klasovitý, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment :)

[@audrameyer9558]

This was awesome! I have many types of gourami, as I adore them but I did not realize there were that many different types! Thanks for sharing that stunning footage.

[@Aquadiction]

Thank you Audra for the kind words, believe it or not there are a lot more! Have you heard of these? www.aquariacentral.com/forums/data/attachments/179/179314-89f2ef41db62e8c89a420a9e30485094.jpg Black Paradise Fish Macropodus spechti apparently they come from areas that freeze over in the winter so maybe an interesting all round tubbing fish? Very interesting fish, might have to try them out!

[@audrameyer9558]

@@Aquadiction Wow! No, I had not seen that amazing fish before. Thank you for sharing that link. I will look up more info about it. I know I have never seen one here in any of my LFS's

[@Aquadiction]

They look pretty sweet and if IF they can tub it all year round WOW!! We don't have a local fish store, the hobby died a death around here 15-20 years ago :( so we have to source everything online sadly, which is very hit and miss! Just took a shipment of 8 skunk cories, down to 5 24 hours later, the water was rank :( (wish these places would use breather bags or much larger bags). Out of interest what Gourami's do you keep? FYI I know we keep saying it but, we really do appreciate your comments and support for our little channel! :)

They can be little gits sometimes, have had good and bad experiences with them over the years, mostly bad haha

A synodontis segment would be pretty neat ( also forgot to mention this is apss with a new account)

[@Aquadiction]

Will have to remember your old username when you reply, wondered what happened to APSS as you were always the first to comment, now we know :) Will def get around to synodontis and loads more as we go, thanks for the suggestion :)

[@amazingaquaticsandexotics3030]

i love gold gouramis. the one i have is so bold and active

[@Aquadiction]

They are really underrated aren’t they! Never had a golden but had plenty of the blue variety 👍 would like to try some more again if the future

[@amazingaquaticsandexotics3030]

@@Aquadiction paradise fish are another cool fish as are the pearl gouramis

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

also plant eater like giant gourami ????

[@roxyrobinson2215]

Can you do a rainbow fish one?

[@Aquadiction]

Yes 💯 bear with us though but will absolutely be doing a rainbow, barb, killifish and livebearers

[@on3017]

Is opaline same as blue rosby

[@Aquadiction]

Opaline is the same as the blue and 3 spot just a colour/pattern morph, hope that helps :)

[@Edward-rw3kq]

I just bought 2 beautiful thick clipped gourami, very bold lil guys...who like to hang out in groups of their own kind......

[@Aquadiction]

Hi Edward, they are amazing fish, very underrated gourami and an interesting choice. Are they your first gourami? What was your draw to them? Sadly not many people choose this species which is a total shame as they do have some great personalities, and as you said, they like to hang out together, which a lot of the other larger gouramis don't, unfortunately!

[@Edward-rw3kq]

@@Aquadiction hi...I've always had a few gourami, sadly last week my magnificent 4yr old golden gourami passed away, and he was looking at his absolute best...such a shame.... I've got a stunning pair if Pearl's....and a few lil dwarf gourami in another tank.. I was actually shopping for a pair of fancy goldfish for my bathroom. Aquarium..I got them but noticed a tank with some handsome deep red gourami I've never heard of...so a pair of thick lipped are now in my community tank, they are not shy...😊I absolutely love them...they share a tank with some neons, 4 scissor tails, 6 ornate tetras..3 coolies...3 panda Corey's and an old but cherished clown loach.....all very peaceful.... I'm amazed that gourami are overlooked, they are striking...and incredibly graceful....I'll never be without them....

[@Aquadiction]

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your golden gourami. It's always tough losing a beloved pet, especially when you have had them so long. I completely agree with you that gourami are often overlooked, but they are truly striking and graceful fish. Thank you for sharing your love of gouramis with us bud. Best regards,

[@Edward-rw3kq]

@@Aquadiction you're very welcome...👍🐟

[@Aquadiction]

Have a fab weekend 👍👍

[@onlywei]

Why is Ctenops Nobilis called the “frail gourami”?

[@Aquadiction]

They are considered very sensitive to changes in water quality, temperature, and pH, making them more vulnerable and seemingly "frail" compared to hardier fish. I THINIK this is why they got the name, hope that helps bud!

[@drea4195]

This could have been so much more "liked" if you'd included some kind of info on each type, other than their names.

[@Aquadiction]

Did you see the link in the post? We included full details on every species on our website as supplementary material rather than bog the video down, hope that helps

[@Aquadiction]

We should have made it more obvious TBH so we just pinned it as the first comment, hope that helps! (in recent videos of this sort we have started including QR codes to take you directly to the species page)

[@lordatum8139]

I've three spot and opaline gouramis ❤

[@Aquadiction]

How do you find the opaline with aggression towards each other? Thanks for the comment 🥰

[@lordatum8139]

@@Aquadiction it killed a goldfish in my tank... I made some hiding spots and added another goldfish to the tank... Opaline made it's territory and everything is fine now.

[@Aquadiction]

Ahhh I had them as as teenager and found them incredibly aggressive which is very strange for a gourami and other types I’ve kept over the years but your experience is helpful to know bud! Sorry for your goldfish 😞! In the future once your opaline passes consider pearl as a much more placid alternative mid size gourami, though if you love the blue on the opaline it’s tough to beat! Appreciate your comment and experience it does validate my experience and an absolute help to hear from another keeper 👍👍

[@lordatum8139]

@@Aquadiction gouramis are nothing but Asian cichlids

[@Aquadiction]

Lots of people seem to think gourami = super peaceful ( I think they get confused with origami lol) it’s one of them fishy old wife’s takes I guess? I would have said they were more like a betta but cichlid is a great point bud and spot on

[@Sahani_Vihanga]

Think it is a gold gurami but it has some dots in near the tale

[@riosulysto2068]

Parosphromenus has quite a few species, so actually the video should be longer hehe

[@Aquadiction]

Lol yep very true, just getting decent photos that’s the biggest problem! Will def redo these videos as and when we can add an additional 40% of species 👍 Happy holidays ✌️

[@riosulysto2068]

@@Aquadiction and there are a few new species getting discovered... looking forward to the new video

They are arguably the nicest gourami👍👍 thanks for sharing 👍

[@KeitaroSakyuu]

@@Aquadiction they're cute and funny to watch

[@jackd105]

Some of them look like cichlids

[@Aquadiction]

Yea, that will be the Climbing Gouramis, also called Climbing Perch, which are very close to Cichlids, so your comment is spot on! Appreciate the comment 👌👍👍

[@souljahaden6184]

You forgot many species of paradise fish

[@Aquadiction]

Yea that's true, but we did beat the other youtubers videos by about 15 species lol! We will do an updated video once we are able to obtain photos of more species :)

[@An-kw3ec]

These are the species that you are likely to find in the aquarium trade, there are much more but require extremely acidic water that most people don't have in their countries.

[@blackshama9]

Betta? He is a gourami

[@Aquadiction]

Which ones a betta???
