I don't know. My guess would be one of the giant goruami species.

In the following picture is a cruely painted gourami which is injected with dye for those who dont know to enhance unatural colours which shortens the fishes life and cozes pain on the fish, but i was curious before the gourami is painted and called "painted gourami" what speices is it
