A Dwarf Gourami variety

[Sinuhe]

After looking at Dwarf Gourami varieties online, it seems to me like the ones called Flame and Sunset look exactly the same: orange body, a neon blue dorsal fin (for males). Is it just 2 names for the same fish, or is there a difference?

i've also seen these called cinnamon dwarf gouramis...................

I believe they are the same fish

theres a Neon Blue Dwarf Gourmi too

But I believe the Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami is of a different color, right?

A lot of the time they try to sell honey gouramis as sunset or flame dwarf gouramis. If its a sunset or flame dwarf they are just inbred genetic mutations and are very prone to disease and tumors. Its very sad.

I think the one I have is a genuine flame/sunset Dwarf Gourami, I know what Honey Gouramis look like. I've had him in a QT tank for a week now, and he seems fine so far .

The sunset gourami you mentioned above is actually a Sunset Thick Lipped Gourami and is a dwarf variety which IMHO is extremely beautiful. It's colors remind me of autumn leaves.

They are not a commonly found gourami. If I am ever lucky enough to find them again I will surely buy a pair. (Yes, unlike many dwarf varieties, they do come in pairs.)
