Bettas and Gouramis
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008
Hello all well I found out something really interesting the other day and I thought I would share it. Betta (Siamese Fighting Fish) and Gourami are both are breathers which are know in the tropical fish anabantoid
. They could go up to the surface and breath from the air as we would. Of course they don’t need to like us but this gives them a huge survivor rate if the water conditions get really bad. They could do this since they have some thing simular to our lungs known as a abryinth organ. These to fish can get along as well if you but the Gouramis in first. Of course you should never put in 2 male bettas. Of course knowing this is comfortable to know but you
still should do basic fish tank care. What is also great about these two breeds of tropical fish is that they have many colors and you could miss
match and make a very pretty tank. One combination that looks great is Kissing Gourami and a blue or red betta does not matter if it is a delta tail as pictured or Betta Halfmoon Male or even a Betta Crown Tail Male
