Yes, really beautiful pair. I recently got 2 pairs and it seems there are very little informations on them in AQ.
maybe if you try using its scientic name to search, it will yield a better results.

Currently keeping large predatory fish 🐟
Thank you all very much for the links. I have search and read all of them before posting this thread. There isn't much thread on them. I manage to get them eat dried food but still on and off I will feed them with live food.
I got them in one of the LFS at pasir ris farmway 2 but sadly they are all sold out.

I saw them at Y618 and C328 too, so I guess they came from the same supplier. Didn't buy any though. Now that I have space to keep them, they are not around. Would be contented even if I were to settle with just a fish.
Might be getting chocolates instead....

I too will be very appreciative of any info or tips on S.Vaillanti.
I have 8 of them, housed together with a school of S.Osphromenoides and S.Selatanesis.
Of the 8, only one will take dried food (tetrabits). The rest all need FBW. So it pretty much depends on the individual fish.
From what I see, they are less fussy than the other chocolates when it comes to water parameters. And are definitely more aggressive than the chocolates.
Hoping they'll breed someday.
Here are the photos of my samurai. They already pair up and seems the male have eggs in his mouth.

Great. Now you'll have to wait patiently and try to minimize the disturbance to the fish.

Surprising, they are not really demanding and I manage to convert my 4 samurai and 4 chocolate to eat pellets...
Very nice. Have never succeeded with this species. I hope your male holds till term : )
Cheers,
Bernard

Thank you. I also hope it will success... Keep my fingers cross.
Hi, how did the brooding of your samurai's go?
Revived an old thread because I've some burning questions with regards to breeding Samurai's.
Got 3 a month ago, and they soon paired off, with one female being left to fend for herself amongst the chocolates.
The female of the pair was seen embracing the male, and soon, eggs we dropped on my dark achilles, with the male putting them in the mouth whilst the female kept watch.

Oh yes, left out the question. So, what shall i do next? The pair is currently housed in a 4 footer with a couples of other chocolates', white cloud minnows, and assorted algae cleaning crew such as otos, yamoto and red nose shrimps.
Congrats, my samurai has passed on. Try not to disturb the male samurai. Currently he should be quite stress. The male will house the eggs for around 20-21 days before releasing the fry, which is what I have read on from the Internet.
Condolences bro...thanks, I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Wish you all the best man... It's a pity that we cannot find any more samurai gourami out there in Singapore. Those in gc has been sold out and their pricing is very high.
Thanks dude! I just went to see cg latest stock list. Seems like samurai gourami is stocking soon! Steep price though, but I can't seem to find it anywhere else...anyone who knows, will greatly appreciate it if you can PM me.
