well, since you guys were so helpful identifying my magadascan rainbow, i've got another couple fishies for you here.
i've owned this guy for 4 months. the store i bought him from (pet supermarket i think?) didnt have him labeled, and every other store i've seen him at also haven't had him labeled!.
i believe him to be a Honey Sunset Gourami? he is dwarf, smaller than the dwarf gouramis i've had in the past (2x Powder Blue, 2 or 3 regular Dwarfs, 2x Flame dwarfs) but he is definetively one of them as he behaves similarly. however, while my dwarfs would fight one another, none of my 6 or 7 past dwarfs ever attacked him
so what exactly is he?
and then i found these guys at another PS...i instantly fell in love with them and got two. here's what they looked like when i bought them:
at first i thought they were color morphs of the one above, but then i noticed that they have the white line under their faces going to the fins...and now they're getting to look like this:
so i'm starting to think they were immature Honey Dwarfs?
i mentioned before the dwarf gouramis wouldn't fight with these. that's true, but these guys fight amongst themselves just like the other dwarfs would fight. so much so, that i watched one of the yellow guys fight another red one (not the one picture, second one i got to keep company) and in the morning the following day that red one was dead with a hole on the stomach....
NOTE: please dont tell me they are: "Dwarf Gourami", "Powder Blue Dwarf Gourami", "Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami", "Flame/Red Sunset Gourami" or any of the regular Trichogaster gouramis. it was the most disappointing moment when the staff from www.liveaquaria.com wrote back to me saying the picture I had sent them was of a "powder blue dwarf gourami", and to prove it, they gave me a link to a flame gourami on another website....
thanks for the help!
