Where are dwarf Gouramis from?

Origin and Distribution. Originating in India, West Bengal, Assam, and Bangladesh, the dwarf gourami are native to thickly vegetated waters. They are often found together with other species in the genus Trichogaster (also known as Colisa).

How many gouramis should be kept together?

At least four dwarf gouramis should be kept together. Dwarf gouramis are social creatures, and they feel more secure living in groups – the bigger the group, the better. With that said, if you have limited space, you can keep them in pairs.
