Pearl Gourami - Trichogaster Leeri
Max. size 10 cm (4"

Blue/Gold Gourami - Trichogaster Trichopterus
Blue and gold are colour variants.
Max. Size 10 cm (4"

Pearl and blue/gold gouramies are not the same species but I've seen males of each get testy with ANY anabantid. That includes bettas and other gouramies, etc. PLUS - as I said in your other threads, these fish grow to be too large for your 10 gallon tank. Period.
