 | Dwarf gourami variety |
Budzilla  Enthusiast Posts: 288 Kudos: 197 Votes: 90 Registered: 18-Jul-2006   |  Edited by budzilla I was wondering if anyone could tell me what color variety they are. Their face is a light powder blue and the rest of their body is scarlet red. I think their the flame variety but I'm not sure because I'm new to gouramies and the tank that I got them out of just said Dwarf Gourami.-Vincent |

| Budzilla Enthusiast Posts: 288 Kudos: 197 Votes: 90 Registered: 18-Jul-2006 | Yeah, it might be but I've done some research and I've seen them labeled as sunsets on some sites but others say that their flames. either way their nice addition to my 55 gallon. I'm planning to get more.  -Vincent |

| juwel-180 Enthusiast Posts: 291 Kudos: 212 Votes: 17 Registered: 07-Dec-2005  | i have had this type for 3 years. My female died after 3 years  . Looking for a new one but the femal sunsets are hard to find. When you say u want to get some more do u mean male or females ? |

| Budzilla Enthusiast Posts: 288 Kudos: 197 Votes: 90 Registered: 18-Jul-2006 | females... Definantly I've been trying to find some so I might have to settle for the neon blue dwarf females. Do you think this would work? -Vincent |

| juwel-180 Enthusiast Posts: 291 Kudos: 212 Votes: 17 Registered: 07-Dec-2005 | As u all ready have 2 males u are going to need about 4-5 females and arather big tank to stop them from fighting. This fish is not happy until it has every female in the tank. And it will prob kill the other male while doing this. How big is your tank  And is it well planted |

| Budzilla Enthusiast Posts: 288 Kudos: 197 Votes: 90 Registered: 18-Jul-2006 | It is 55 gallons and well planted. it should be plenty of room -Vincent |

| bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004 | hi, welcome to F.P i believe females are more grey than males. |

| waldena Hobbyist Posts: 117 Kudos: 80 Votes: 71 Registered: 30-Jan-2006 | If you have the Neon Blue Gouramies it can be trickier to tell the difference than with a 'standard' DG. As bettachris said the females are pretty much grey, while the males have a red colouring. It is obvious on a standard DG, but with the coloured varieties you will need to look closer. Go to the profiles section of this site, check the labyrinth fish and have a look at the Colisa Lalia profile. The photo on there is a male, a female won't have any of the red colouring. Hope that helps. |

| Budzilla Enthusiast Posts: 288 Kudos: 197 Votes: 90 Registered: 18-Jul-2006 | I finally found 1 female last week and had it in a quarantine tank. 3 days later it was dead from dropsy.  It shows the benifits of quarantine. If I didn't keep her in their the other fish would also be dead.Well my LFS is getting a new shipment of females this weekend. I'll try it again. -Vincent |
