Hi painer.
 
If you're having trouble attaching pics, try uploading them to Photobucket and posting the link

I'm pretty sure it's a sparkling gourami, Trichopsis pumila.

Is it possibly a Juvenile? 

 

[painer84]

yeah he/she is only an inch long, i have a pair of dwarf gouramis do you think this will become a problem later on  ?

 

[fluttermoth]

It will be a juvenile; also a bit pale. It'll colour up once it settles in (if you keep it, of course).

I know sparklers can be pretty feisty. I don't think I'd risk them with dwarves, but they're not a fish I know a huge amount about.

No worries. They're lovely looking fish, I've often thought of having some.
