Parosphromenus is a genus of gouramies native to freshwater in Southeast Asia.[1] All species are highly specialized peat swamp inhabitants native to southeast Asia, and the males are usually brightly colored in breeding dress; however, their need for soft, acidic water and live food prohibits the genus from becoming popular aquarium fish.
In the present day, almost all species of licorice gouramis are endangered. Aquarist-run programs exist to ensure the survival of the many species of licorice gouramis. Trade from specialist breeders is the only way to obtain these rare fish, and specimen must be monitored closely for a species census to check the total population.
