Ged Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Generally speacking Gourami species prefer a temperature range between 24 - 28 degrees but there are exceptions (ie. Giant Gourami). Here are a few examples: Trichogaster microlepsis (Moonlight Gourami) 26 - 30 degrees Trichogaster labiosus (Thick Lipped Gourami) 24 -28 degrees Trichogaster leeri (Lace or Pearl Gourami) 24 -28 degrees Trichogaster chuna (Honey Gourami) 24 -28 degrees Trichogaster trichopterus (Blue, Opaline, Gold & Platinum Gourami) 24 -28 degrees Colisa lalia (Dwarf Gourami) 24 -28 degrees Osphronemus goramy (Giant Gourami) 19 - 30 degrees So it depends what you are keeping.

Red Tail Shark Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 thanks gerard for the info my father who lives in qld was sold some gouramis for his external pond the guy at the shop said they would be alright in there all year round i know that 2 of them are dwarf gouramis not sure what the others are but i told him i was pretty sure that would not survive the winter once it went below 22 degrees and from the info u have supplied it confirms what i thought Cheers Cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citypainter Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Dwarfs will die. Opaline, 3 spot, golds and pearls will probably survive down to 16 deg. if it comes on slow. I cold snap could finish them though. They are pretty tolerant and can live in absoloute filth and breath from the surface in contaminated water. Very adaptable fish.
