[ARRIVED 20-JAN-2026] Pearl Gourami Trichogaster Leeri 2-4cmThe pearl gourami is not only one of the most attractive gouramis but also one of the hardiest and easiest to keep. It has a labyrinth like respiratory system, meaning it can breathe air from reaching the surface at any time. Like some other labyrinth fish, this species vocalizes; you might hear growling or croaking noises during breeding or fighting periods. Origin and Distribution The Pearl Gourami originates in Thailand, Malaysia, and the islands

The pearl gourami is not only one of the most attractive gouramis but also one of the hardiest and easiest to keep. It has a labyrinth-like respiratory system, meaning it can breathe air from reaching the surface at any time. Like some other labyrinth fish, this species vocalizes; you might hear growling or croaking noises during breeding or fighting periods. 

Origin and Distribution

The Pearl Gourami originates in Thailand, Malaysia, and the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. It prefers acidic water found in lowland swamps near the sea. Some of them have been introduced to Singapore and Colombia but they are a rare sight as most pearl gouramis are bred in captivity. 

Lifespan

The average lifespan of a pearl gourami is four to five years. There have been reported instances where they have made it past six, but that's quite uncommon. 

Pearl gouramis need to be cared for correctly if you want them to live their lifespan in a fulfilling way. Generally, they are easy fish to maintain and care for- however, without the proper habitat condition this can drastically reduce the length of their lives which is why it is so important that these conditions be met. 

Appearance

Pearl gouramis are a distinctive freshwater fish species. With their colors and patterns, they have the ability to stand out in an aquarium of any other ordinary looking fish. Pearl gouramis are easy to care for too! But it’s not just their appearance that sets them apart but also its habitat preferences. These beautiful creatures live on muddy bottoms with plants like Java moss or Vallisneria sp., (though there can be exceptions). 

The name Pearl Gourami comes from the fact that there are little white dots on their body - these include spots around its caudal and dorsal fins. The only place you won't find these dots is under their mouth which starts at a small patch of skin slightly below the chest to the belly. 

The pearl gourami is fascinating and entrancing because of the small, light-reflecting dots on their body. From the right angle they almost glitter! Another trademark feature of this fish species is a black line that runs down their middle from mouth to caudal fin, which can sometimes be difficult to see depending on how dark it appears against its natural coloration. 

Pearl Gourami's bodies are long and thin but tall, giving it a "sideways pancake" appearance. Somehow this fish manages to look fast with its body shape. 

The pearl gourami has a unique body shape. They are tall and long, but their bodies are flat like a pancake or side of cake! Another distinct characteristic they possess is that their ventral fins dangle past the end of their tail when swimming-they're kind of funny looking, but we think it's cute! 

Size

The average pearl gourami size is anywhere between 4-5 inches. This measurement applies to their body, so it doesn't count any bonus length they might get from their ventral fins.

Genetics and care are two factors that can impact the fish's size, but genetics has a greater influence on the overall size than anything else does. The fish grows according to its age and gender as well, with females growing larger than males in general (not including other factors). 

Diet

It is important to feed your fish a healthy diet. The food you provide can affect the growth and behavior of your gourami.

Pearl gouramis aren’t choosy about their food. Their omnivorous diet lets them eat all kinds of different foods.

In the wild, they eat whatever small insects, larvae, and eggs they can find. They have aquatic plants all around them to eat if nothing else passes by.

 You won’t have trouble feeding them in an aquarium. They will eat most fish foods, like flake, pellet, and live and frozen foods. Just make sure whatever you feed them is small enough to fit in their mouths.

Live food is beneficial because it encourages the fish to exhibit different behaviors, such as working for their meal. Live foods include brine shrimp and glass worms.

Great introduction to Godot 4
Format: Kindle
I've been writing various types of software for 10 years and was interested in learning Godot for 2D games. This book turned out to be informative and easy to follow and gave me the knowledge I was seeking. I learn best by example, and this project focused book was excellent in that regard. If you have zero programming experience, I would recommend learning something like Python before diving into this book. The book teaches with GDScript, which is Godot's Python-like programming language. There are some minor mistakes in the book, but an errata is currently being kept up-to-date on the github repository for the book. I opened a few issues for things I discovered, and the author added those things to the errata. Keep this in mind if you end up getting stuck on something and are 100% sure you followed the directions in the book. I use Unreal for 3D games, so I have not yet gone through the chapters of this book for 3D games. I wouldn't expect a drastic drop in quality, but for the purposes of this review I can't give any insight on the 3D chapters.

A very frustrating experience
Format: Paperback
I very rarely write reviews for things, but I felt compelled to do so for this book based on my experience. I had an amazing experience with this book for the first 3 chapters. There were some errors and things just plain missing in those chapters, but I was able to debug and provide solutions for those things. For example, some lines of code were omitted and score keeping was completely left out from Chapter 3. I have since found that errata is helpfully published on the GitHub repository. Overall I had a lot of fun working through the first 3 chapters. Chapter 4 is where I decided to give up and move on to other resources. I found the lack of guidance on level design and truly understanding and using tile maps and tile sets downright frustrating. Perhaps this chapter would be more approachable if I had prior game development experience. The author very much glosses over level design and it went from a poor explanation of the concept to just "now design your level". Referencing the finished project from the GitHub repository did not provide much assistance either. If you are new to game development, I think the first 3 chapters are a helpful introduction and they have definitely furthered my interest in both Godot and game development. However, I had to bail after Chapter 4 in search of better material. Perhaps I will return to the book after learning more from other resources.
