buying gourami online? - Aquarium Advice

pinstripe · 06-21-2005, 12:17 AM

My LFSs run heavily to African cichlids -- it's difficult to find a good selection of anything else. (I'm in Northern VA and have tried Super Petz, Centreville Aquarium and Totally Fish.)
Can anyone recommend a good online source of gourami?

I'm leaning toward dwarf gourami but could do the larger ones. Google only shows me aquariumfish.net, petsolutions and liveaquaria.com -- are these the best options?

Also, are there any color varieties where the female is [almost] as colorful as the male?

fish2u.com and lots of others...you might want to have a poke around aquabid, too.

With the larger gouramis, the females usually have nice colors just not as nice as the males [acronym:c2e762b3e4="In my opinion"]IMO[/acronym:c2e762b3e4].
