Gouramis
 
I'd say Honey Gouramis....but dont take my advice to heart, i could be wrong. ill be watching this to see what others have to say, because that is a very gorgeous pair of gouramis.....


Edit: im about 90% positive that they are honeys after a little research.
 
I am 100% certain it isn't a honey gourami and will tell you without doubt (IMO) that it is a 'Golden' Gourami; Trichogaster trichopterus
AKA 3 Spot Gourami AKA Blue Gourami AKA Opaline Gourami :huh:
All the same fish under different common names that are based on colouration :eek:

Just try googling the Latin name (maybe adding golden to the search, because 3 spot/blue will most likely come up more than anything) and comparing the images with your fish....
Let us know!
 
Ditto 100% Trichogaster trichopterus

Honey's are a squatter and rounder body shape, also they don't have the same colouration in the fins.
 
UNDOUBTEDLY THIS IS A GOLDEN GOURAMI.
THIS IS NOT A DWARF VARIETY.IT GROWS TO AROUND 4 TO 5 INCHES.
