The "gourami" part is misleading.

Look up ALBINO PARADISE FISH.

CW/temperate species,
similar to a gourami,
but males will fight like betas,
very intelligent fish,
calmly territorial,
bubblenesters,
require the swimming space of a gourami


Was there anything specific you needed?


(BTW, if its got black eyes, its not albino, make sure you use that as a bargaining point to get a better price.)

I don't know what's up with that...I've seen paradise fish more often in stores lately but they're labeled 'paradise gourami'. Maybe they're doing that so people have some idea what kind of fish it is, that gouramis in general are more familiar?

Do they like to be in groups or can one live by himself and be happy?

one will be fine

but do interact with him a bit, or give him some other fishy species to play with
