Common name: Banded Gourami, Indian Giant Gourami, Rainbow Gourami, Striped Gourami Group: Labyrinth fishes Habitat: Asia; India, Bengal, Assam, Myanmar (Burma)

Size: Male: 10 cm, female: 6-8 cm

Biotope: Inhabits slow-moving waters, often with a covering of surface vegetation, also in ricefields and in shallow waters.

Social behaviour: A shy fish, suitable for a community tank except at spawning times when fish become territorial. Do not keep with Thick-lipped Gourami (Colisa labiosa), as they may hybridise.

Diet: Omnivorous, flakes, vegetables, tablets

Breeding: Quite easy

Tank: Minimum 70 litres

Population: 1 pair for 80 litres

Decoration: Prefers a darker tank bottom with heavy vegetation along the edges of the aquarium. Driftwood and twisted branches. Leave room in the centre for swimming, and the water movement should be minimal.

Temperature: 21-28°C pH: 6-7.5 Hardness: 4-15NK°

Lifespan: 4 years

Description: The banded gourami has an elongated body, with long dorsal and anal fins. The caudal fin is fan-shaped and the ventral fins are long and slender-almost thread-like. The body is orange-brown with a greenish sheen, and with several narrow orange-red to red stripes slanting diagonally backward.

The back of the fish is dark brown, the chest and belly are blue-green, often with a purple sheen. The iris of the eye may be orange. Females are less colourful, with a white-silver belly region. The dorsal fin on male ends in a point and the body is darker, becoming nearly black during spawning.

For breeding, the water in the tank should be soft, shallow, about 20 cm deep. Water movement should be avoided. Use plenty of floating plants and fine-leaved plants to provide shelter for the female.

The tank should have tight cover, as the fry need access to a layer of warm, humid air, for their labyrinth organ development. For a couple of weeks keep the male and female separated, and feed them with live and frozen foods to get them in condition.

When the female is full with eggs, transfer her to the spawning tank. After 1-2 days put the male to the tank. The male will display to the female constantly, and he makes a large bubble nest.

Male fully embraces female during the act of spawning, turning his stomach toward the surface. 20 to 50 eggs are laid each time - 500 to 600 in all - which float to the surface.

These hatch within 24 hours. Male will jealously guard the nest and female should be removed at this point. Begin feeding the fry with rotifers and infusoria.

After a week or two, the young can be fed with powdered dry foods and Brine Shrimp nauplii.

FANTASTIC FIT
Size: 16 Plus, Color: Washed Blue
I'm a 4'7" , 65 year old woman. Due to abdominal issues I needed jeans that give that extra something on the waist. I've tried on just about every brand of jeans ranging in size from adult/junior 6 to 12. If they fit on the legs the waist was huge. If they fit on the waist the legs and butt had enough room for me and a friend. I was resigned to wearing yoga pants and leggings with big shirts. My son mentioned that he loved the Amazon basics men's dress slacks, so I figured why not. First I looked at women's and juniors, and I knew from the measurements that I was still stuck. Then I remembered that about 15 years ago I'd buy girls pants (I was a size 12 in kids at the time) Looking at the sizes I knew a 12 was way too small, then I saw the 16 plus. With hesitation I bought them. Well glory be miss Agnes, THEY FIT. Comfortable, real jeans again. Sure, I have to take them up about 6 inches, but that's fine, not a problem. I'm just so happy to have real jeans again !!!

Love them!
Size: 7 Slim, Color: Washed Blue
I did but expect these jeans to fit so well and look so nice on my daughter. Hands down the best jeans I’ve purchased for her, much better fit and quality than the other stores! The length is perfect, but it’s a little snug in the waist. Still a great fit with some stretchiness! Great value!

Great pair of Jean and great price!
Size: 14, Color: Washed Blue, Size: 14, Color: Washed Blue
I can’t believe these were only $13. They feel and look like quality jeans, very basic/simple boot cut. My daughter says they’re stretchy and comfortable. I ordered her a size 14 (12’s fit her waist but are always too short) She’s 11 years old, 5’ tall, about 80lbs. The waist adjusters were great for the perfect fit.
