Sparkling Gourami?

[catherine896]

Im looking for some sparkling gourami to go into my community tank but cant seem to find any in the UK.
Does anyone breed them, or know of anyone that does?
There are never any at fish shops either!
Any help would be great!
Thanks

A quick search on tropicalfishfinder turns up 4 shops, including Wholesale Tropicals in London which now do deliveries. Haven't checked out TriMar but it is possible they do them too.

They seem to be seasonal or something, the shops in my area sometimes have them in, but i havent seen any in a while. They are usually at tiny sizes though, no more than a cm.

I'd seen them in a couple of lfs's but they didn't have any when I went to find some.

When I asked, though, they ordered some specially - not just three for me - a whole tankful. I guess lfs's are only guessing at what their customers want and if someone asks - many are happy to adjust their order.
