Question Can anyone identify these gouramis?
Hi everyone! I'm a total newbie here Anyway, I bought these 3 gourami on Saturday... they were labled "Sunset thick-lipped gouramis" at the LFS. I was looking for either thick-lipped gouramis or honey gouramis, so I bought these three. Now, after looking at pictures online, I have NO idea what they are! Here's a picture:


I think *maybe* they are a color mutation of the honey gourami? Their lips deffinately do not look like the other thick-lipped fish I saw online. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Amy

Probably a cross-breed result; people trying to beat nature, to create more beautiful ones.

Nano are you sure you caught this? This is "developed" by human being... Just like ytl99 said..it is hybrid. Normally wild one is spotted gourami

commonly sold as red honey dwarf gourami.

Colisa lalia x colisa chuna

red can be further induced by feeding colour food.
