The Blue Balloon Marble Gourami in a Singapore Tank

This is a selectively bred balloon-body form of the three-spot gourami, marbled in blue. As a labyrinth fish it gulps air at the surface, which makes it forgiving of the warm, lower-oxygen conditions our tanks can sit at during hot afternoons. We acclimate ours gently and recommend you float the bag, then mix in tank water over half an hour so the move is gradual rather than a shock.

They’re hardy and adapt well to our soft, slightly acidic tap water, and at 27-29C ambient a heater is rarely needed here. Give them gentle flow and some floating cover or tall plants to feel secure; the rounded balloon body swims a little less efficiently, so avoid strong currents. Males can be territorial, so plan tank mates with that in mind.
