Many fish are hardy and simple to care for, but their appearance really sets them apart.

This fish gets its name from the fact that it has tiny white dots that cover most of its body, including its caudal and dorsal fins.

The only place you won’t be able to find these dots is on a small area below their mouth that goes a little bit below their belly.

When they swim, these pearl-like dots make for a very captivating image.They appear to almost sparkle from the right angle!

The pearl gourami’s black line, which begins at their mouth and ends at the beginning of their caudal fin, is another distinguishing characteristic.

This light’s darkness can vary slightly depending on the fish’s other colors, but it is always very obvious.

They have flat, thin bodies, but they are tall and long, like the dwarf gourami.While still appearing to be quick and long, this gives them a look that is somewhat reminiscent of a “sideways pancake.”

The long and thin ventral fins of pearl gourami are another distinctive feature.These can sometimes extend past the end of their caudal fins and dangle while they swim.They have a funny look, but we think it’s cute.
