Well, I went to the lfs today to pick up some platinum tetras, and while browsing, I nearly fell over when I spotted some Sparkling Gouramies!

I bought three, and will buy some more when I return if they are there, as they are very very rarely around. An excellent price at under £2 each ($3.70 USD / $4.75 AUD).

They are lovely! Not as shy as I'd thought, they are swimming right up to the top and two are happily right at the front of the tank.

Don't know what sexes they are. But they are lovely.

Cheers Theresa, they are rather sweet, hanging around together, and happily checking around amongst the plants. Looking forward to having half a dozen of the little gems! Oh, they were in the shop as 'Jewel Gouramies' which while I've never heard them called that before, is appropriate!
