LEE_WILMOT_706 Enthusiast Posts: 243 Kudos: 201 Votes: 3 Registered: 27-Jun-2004	I recently got one of these guys and they're so cool. He's only 3cm but already he looks colourful. The trouble is I been looking up, and I can't find anything on them, Can anyone help ?

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	We have some fish labeled as the "flame gourami" at work. They can be treated as a normal dwarf gourami, and they are easy to care for. They will eat most of the foods offered to them, and will get along with almost all tankmates. Male fish are more colorful than the females, who often look silvery or brown in color. They are good citizens, and usually only reach five cm or so. All in all, a nice, hardy community fish. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
