Sparkling Gourami

Amazing little fish and the croaking noise they make is pretty cool too. Here is a video showing the croaking.

Huh, that is very neat. I like their deep blue eyes too.

It took me a couple months to realise it was the fish making noise and not the air pump...

I love these little guys. Super shy though, so if you have anything else in the tank they just hide constantly.

I'm going to redo my Fluval Flex with nothing but sparkling gouramis and see if I cant get them out and about.

Very true. I had them with (tiny) chili rasboras and salt/pepper corydoras and and even then they would hide away most of the time. They are amazing fish to watch though if you have patience.
