Licorice Gourami - Parosphromenus Deissneri

Parosphromenus deissneri, known as the Licorice Gourami, is a striking nano fish native to the blackwater streams of Southeast Asia. Males display shimmering blues, reds, and greens, especially during courtship, while females are more subdued in color. These peaceful labyrinth fish thrive in soft, acidic water with plenty of plants, leaf litter, and low lighting.
