Spotted Gourami, jise Three-spot Gourami bhi kaha jata hai, ek bahut hi beautiful aur peaceful freshwater fish hai jo Southeast Asia se belong karti hai — mainly Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, aur Indonesia me milti hai.

Is fish ko pehchanna bahut easy hai, kyunki iske body ka color metallic silver-blue hota hai aur iske body par do dark spots hote hain—teesra “spot” actually uski eye hoti hai.

Ye species Labyrinth fish family ka part hai, jiska matlab ye hai ki ye fish ek special organ—labyrinth organ — ke through direct air se oxygen le sakti hai. Isi wajah se ye fish low-oxygen environment me bhi easily survive kar leti hai, jahan doosri fishes struggle karti hain.

Iski gentle personality, hardiness, aur attractive appearance ke kaaran Spotted Gourami beginners se le kar experienced aquarists tak sabke liye ek perfect choice ban jaati hai.

Gourami Fish ke liye Ideal Tank Setup aur Water Condition

Ek sahi tank setup hi aapki Spotted Gourami ko healthy aur stress-free rakhne ka pehla step hai. Ek pair adult Gourami ke liye kam se kam 30 gallon (around 115 liter) ka tank recommended hai. Agar aap ek small group rakhna chahte ho toh 40–50 gallon (150–190 liter) ka tank best rahega. Ye fish open swimming space pasand karti hai jisme kuch plants aur hiding spots bhi ho.

Tank ka temperature 24°C se 28°C ke beech rakho, aur pH level 6.5 se 7.5 ke aaspaas ho. Water soft to moderately hard (4–15 dGH) hona chahiye. Ye fish calm water me comfortable feel karti hai, isliye gentle filter ya sponge filter use karo taki strong current na bane.

Aquarium ko decorate karte waqt live plants jaise Anubias, Java Fern, aur Hornwort lagao — ye plants natural hiding spots aur oxygen provide karte hain. Floating plants jaise Water Lettuce bhi add kar sakte ho, ye light ko diffuse karke shaded area banati hain jahan fish relax karti hai.

Tank ko cover karke rakhna zaruri hai taki humidity maintain rahe, lekin upar chhoti si air gap zarur chhodo kyunki Gourami apne labyrinth organ se surface air gulp karti hai.

Diet aur Feeding Routine

Spotted Gourami ek omnivorous fish hai, matlab ye plant-based aur protein-rich dono type ka food khati hai. Wild me ye mostly small insects, crustaceans, aur algae par feed karti hai. Aquarium me inhe healthy rakhne ke liye aapko unke natural diet ka combination dena chahiye.

Unka staple food high-quality flakes ya pellets ho sakta hai, lekin sath me thoda live ya dried insect food zarur include karo jaise mealworms, black soldier fly larvae, ya bloodworms — ye unhe extra protein aur energy dete hain.

Aap chahe toh unhe frozen food bhi de sakte ho jaise brine shrimp ya tubifex worms. Fiber ke liye unhe blanched vegetables (thoda boil karke) jaise peas, cucumber, ya spinach offer karo. Ye digestion ke liye helpful hote hain.

Unhe din me 2–3 baar chhoti portions me feed karo, jitna wo 2 minute me finish kar lein. Overfeeding mat karo, warna tank ka paani dirty ho jaata hai aur fish ko bloating ho sakti hai. Jo food bacha ho, use turant nikaal do.

Ek balanced mix of live, dried aur plant-based food unke color ko enhance karta hai, immunity strong banata hai, aur fish ko active rakhta hai.

Behavior aur Tank Mates

Spotted Gourami generally peaceful nature wali fish hai aur community tank me easily adjust ho jaati hai. Lekin kabhi-kabhi males thode territorial ho jaate hain — especially breeding season ke time par. Ye mostly mid aur top level me swim karti hain aur plants ke beech explore karna inhe pasand hai.

Agar aap aggression avoid karna chahte ho, toh tank me 1 male aur 2 female ka ratio rakhna best hai. Isse tank me harmony bani rahegi aur males ke beech fight nahi hoti.

Tank mates choose karte waqt calm aur same-size fish prefer karo jaise Tetras, Mollies, Platies, Rasboras, aur Corydoras catfish. Ye species Gouramis ke saath peacefully rehte hain.

Avoid karo aggressive ya fin-nipping fish jaise Tiger Barbs, Bettas, ya large Cichlids, kyunki ye Gourami ke delicate fins ko damage kar sakte hain.

Tank me zyada plants aur hiding spots add karne se fish secure feel karti hai aur stress aur territorial behavior dono kam ho jaata hai.

Health aur Tank Maintenance

Healthy water aur regular maintenance hi aapki Spotted Gourami ko healthy aur happy rakhne ka main secret hai. Har week 20–25% tank ka paani change karna bahut zaruri hai, taki waste material remove ho jaaye aur water clean rahe.

Tank ke temperature, pH aur ammonia level ko regular check karte raho. Agar ye parameters stable rahenge toh fish kabhi stress me nahi aayegi. Substrate (tank ke neeche ki layer) ko bhi time-to-time clean karo, kyunki wahi par harmful bacteria sabse zyada jamte hain.

Spotted Gouramis me kuch common diseases dekhi jaati hain jaise Ich (white spot disease), Fin Rot, aur Bloating.

Ich me fish ke body aur fins par white spots aa jaate hain. Ye mostly temperature change ya poor tank hygiene ke wajah se hota hai.
Fin Rot ek bacterial infection hai jisme fins frayed ya tootne lagte hain. Isse clean water aur healthy diet se prevent kiya ja sakta hai.
Bloating ya swim bladder problem overfeeding ke wajah se hoti hai. Iska quick solution hai – fish ko ek din fast karao aur boiled peas khilao. Ye digestion me madad karta hai.

Agar aap tank ka water clean rakhte ho, overfeeding nahi karte, aur week me 1–2 baar live insects jaise mealworms ya black soldier fly larvae feed karte ho, toh aapki Spotted Gourami naturally healthy aur disease-free rahegi.

Spotted Gouramis Ka Breeding

Spotted Gourami ka breeding process simple aur dekhne me bahut fascinating hota hai. Breeding ke time male fish water surface ke upar bubble nest banata hai, jisme wo eggs ko protect karta hai. Agar aap breeding karna chahte ho, toh ek alag 25-gallon (around 95-liter) ka tank setup karo jisme temperature lagbhag 28°C ho. Tank me kuch floating plants jaise duckweed ya water lettuce daal do, taki male ko bubble nest banane me support mile.

Jab pair ready ho jaata hai, toh male female ke around circle me swim karke usse court karta hai aur spawning ke time uske around wrap hota hai. Female apne eggs release karti hai jo bubble nest ke andar float ho jaate hain. Uske baad male un eggs ko guard karta hai aur bahut protective ho jaata hai.

Jab spawning complete ho jaaye, toh female ko turant tank se nikal lo, kyunki male kabhi-kabhi aggressive ho kar us par attack kar sakta hai. Eggs 24–36 hours ke andar hatch ho jaate hain, aur fry (baby fish) 3–4 din ke baad free-swimming ban jaate hain.

Jab fry swim karne lagte hain, tab male ko bhi remove kar do, taki wo unhe harm na kare. Fry ko infusoria ya liquid fry food se feed karna start karo. Ek week ke baad, unhe baby brine shrimp ya microworms dene se unka growth fast hota hai.

Proper temperature, clean water aur calm environment me Spotted Gourami ka breeding process successful aur easy hota hai.

Tips for Keeping Spotted Gouramis Happy

Agar aap chaahte ho ki aapki Gourami fish long aur healthy life jiye, toh unke liye calm aur stable environment maintain karna bahut zaruri hai. Tank ko noisy ya high-traffic area me mat rakho, kyunki ye fish peaceful environment pasand karti hai. Aquarium ko cover karke rakho, lekin upar chhoti si air gap zarur chhodo taki wo apne labyrinth organ se air breathe kar sake.

Hamesha regular feeding aur lighting schedule follow karo, kyunki sudden changes se fish stress me aa sakti hai. Tank me zyada live plants lagao — ye unhe natural shelter aur comfort dete hain. Saath hi, overcrowding avoid karo, taki unhe freely swim karne ke liye space mile.

Kabhi-kabhi unhe treats bhi do jaise Promeal ke live ya dried insects — mealworms ya black soldier fly (BSF) larvae. Ye unka natural hunting instinct satisfy karte hain aur nutrition improve karte hain.

Apne fish ko regularly observe karo — ek healthy Gourami ke colors bright hote hain, fins open rehte hain, aur wo smooth aur calm swimming karti hai. Agar fish dull lage, lethargic ho, ya khana kam kha rahi ho, toh turant water parameters check karo.

Spotted Gourami ek graceful, intelligent aur low-maintenance fish hai jo kisi bhi aquarium me elegance aur peace le aati hai. Iski calm nature, beautiful colors aur adaptability ke wajah se ye beginners aur hobbyists dono ke liye ek perfect choice ban jaati hai. Agar aap unke liye proper tank setup, balanced diet aur regular maintenance follow karte ho, toh ye fish easily 6–8 saal tak apke saath reh sakti hai.

Kabhi-kabhi unhe live insect-based food jaise mealworms ya BSF larvae dena, paani clean rakhna, aur stress-free environment maintain karna unhe hamesha active, colorful aur healthy rakhega.
