Hi All, Any Idea What This Fish Is

mtv8dmarine · Oct 2, 2010

I saw this fish today while visiting LFS that I haven't been to before. This fish had two trailing strings much like an angelfish and a dark strip down the body on both sides but I have never seen it before. I'd love to know if anyone knows what it is so I can research further. It was in with a bunch of platies. Thanks!

Yep, pearl gourami, also known as Trichogaster leeri.

Thanks everybody. It wasn't colorful and spotted like the ones I've seen in pics but someone made mention of breeding colors and I guess that's when it comes out? The ones in the shop were kind of silvery colored.
