Dwarf Cobalt Blue Gourami

Dwarf Cobalt Blue Gourami - Striking Solid Blue for a Compact Aquarium

The Dwarf Cobalt Blue Gourami displays a vivid solid cobalt-blue colouration across its entire body, making it one of the most eye-catching small gourami available. Its compact size and calm, deliberate movements let its rich colour take centre stage in a planted tank.

Like other dwarf gourami, it is a peaceful and undemanding species that thrives in a modest, well-planted aquarium. Males can become territorial with one another, so it's best housed as a single male alongside other calm community species.

At N8 Aquatics, our fish are carefully raised and conditioned to ensure healthy stock suited to home aquariums.
