most common names at lfs are either red,or blue paradice fish, and also look at the tiger barb profile, their common name is based on color just like the paradice.

When I bought my paradise fish it's common name was Paradise Fish/Paradise Gourami should these be included into the possible common names as to avoid confusion?

Those are just variations of the same fish, but not blatant color mutations as with the tiger barb. I've always just seen paradise fish sold as "Paradise fish" or "Paradise gouramis".

when u look at different paradice fish, and i know that petland discounts uses these, the paradice fish has two base colors, and while they are a mix of both red and blue, their dominate color is their base color, hence either red paradice fish or blue paradice fish.

Disapprove I hit the wrong button.
I think I agree sir books, if anything it should be Paradise Fish and Paradise Gourami.

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
