Has anyone heard of a flame gourami? can't find it on fishprofiles.

lmw80 · 02-02-2005, 12:51 PM

Yes, it's one of the variations of the dwarf gourami species

oh good thanks...I got my male replaced but I think they gave my fiancee a flame instead of a normal dwarf...I was mainly concerned that it would get too big.

Don't worry, you're cool. It's still Colisa lalia.

Do your present gouramis get along with your betta?

Umberle · 02-02-2005, 04:59 PM

well the female yes...the male what I think is flame gourmai seems to be chasing everyone, not just the betta....the betta seems to be faster than him though. We'll see and things should get better when I get some more plants in there.

is it possible for a normal dwarf to breed with a flame?

Nippyfish · 02-02-2005, 05:05 PM

Keep a close eye on that mix. Male bettas can get pretty rambunctious around other anabantoids. I think I'd be more afraid for the gourami.

I agree with nippyfish. That is the reason why I asked, cause usually a lot of ppl I know find that bettas and gouramis don't get along because they are from the same family. As a result, I'll give you a word of warning to do what nippyfish said and keep a close eye on them.

Certainly...they are all the same species....the 'normal' dwarfs, powder/cobalt blues, flames, etc.
