Ok......the LFS told me this was a "Honey Gold Flame Gourami. It's a dwarf and IMO a very pretty fish.
I googled that name and came up with NOTHING.
How can that be if the name is correct?
Unless it's some kind of local hybrid?

Anyway.....here it is:

It's probably one of the color types of the Dwarf Gourami, which has many variations on it already. People just tag random common names to make them sell. It is probably not a hybrid, but my guess is this color morph is not a naturally occurring one.

I think that it's a Honey Gourami with a peach colour morph.
