Erik i ended up buying an angelfish! Instead of gourami for now!

Those gouramis are so nice erik! I love the kisser, you should get another picture up of her face, love the puckered lips :D

Geese they really are a nice fish for freshwater!!!!!!!!:19:

thx for all the nice compliments guys :11:

[Ellen4God]

Very pretty gouramis! I have a honey gourami, and he is so pretty!! Very nice fish. :)

[Tigerbarb]

thumbs2: Nice little gouramis! They rival the color and beauty of african cichlids, and some saltwater fish very, very well. I wouldn't be able to set up a tank without adding gouramis to it, lol. :19:
You should submit one of those to the April POTM competition.

I am kind of partial to Gourami's as well and I plan on getting some once we are settled into our new home. I've been just dying to buy some but I don't want to stress out any more fish than I have to, when we move. Your's are beautiful :18: absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing :)

i saw in the pic that the female has very nice coloring. i have a question; dose she always look like that? dose her color ever fade?

actually that pic was shortly after she got in the tank, her colors are a little fuller now and her colors havn't faded since ive had her

[Enreche]

ok...

ive noticed that in some para's, the color can be very intence, and stay that way, and in others, the color can fade and be very drab.

hmm...i wonder hte reasons for that...

[~Erik3.8.07~]

just the genes they get i guess, im just glad mine stays nice and colorful :c3:

[Enreche]

mine tend to fade out, but when they get all flusterie, they turn an AMAZING electric blue and orange..quite amazing
