Sphaerichthys selatanensis

- The Southern Chocolate Gourami is sensitive to water quality and abrupt environmental changes. - They exhibit unique parental care where males may carry the eggs and young in their mouths until they hatch. - Being a peaceful species, they're best kept with other non-aggressive fish of similar size. - Encourage a planted tank with subdued lighting to mirror their native habitat and provide sufficient hiding spots using wood and leaf litter.
