Red Glo Gourami.
A three-spot gourami in fluorescent red — a hardy labyrinth fish bred to glow under blue light. Beginner-friendly and air-breathing; give it a 20-gallon-plus tank with some surface cover. Males can get territorial, so watch tankmates.

Good tank mates
We don't have a temperament or community rating set on this listing, but the description does note that males can get territorial. As a labyrinth fish it's generally calm, though to be safe, compatibility depends on the individual fish, so it's best to call us for pairing advice. In general, watch tankmates with a territorial male, give it some surface cover, and avoid known fin-nippers and anything aggressive or large enough to eat it.
Good to know
This is the three-spot gourami, Trichopodus trichopterus, and like other gouramis it's a labyrinth fish that can gulp air at the surface to breathe.

Pictus Catfish
Blue/Three-spot Gouramis (T. trichopterus) are compatible mid-water companions for Pictus Catfish. The fin-nipping from Pictus is directed at ultra-slow, long-finned nano fish (bettas, male guppies), not at an assertive, similarly-sized gourami that occupies a higher water column level. Shared tropical freshwater parameters.
Clown Loach
Peaceful bottom-dweller with no fin-nipping tendency. Loaches are recommended companions for T. trichopterus. Shares tropical freshwater parameters with overlapping temperature range. Occupies a different water column level than the gourami, reducing territorial conflict. Note: must be kept in a group of 6+ in a 75-gallon minimum tank.
