How Many Pearl Gourami in a 75-Gallon Tank?
In a 75-gallon tank, plan on about 1–2 Pearl Gourami, leaving room for tankmates and filtration headroom.
Why
Stocking is driven by adult size and waste output, not just fish count. Pearl Gourami reaches about 4.5" with a heavy bioload, and needs 77–82°F water at pH 6–8. Always cycle the tank and test water before adding livestock.
