The Opaline is a man-made strain developed by a fellow in Fort Worth, Texas a few decades ago. It is also sometimes called the 'Cosby' strain.

There are actually some other color strains now. Platinum and lavender are 2 others.

Did they really all come from the 3 spot gourami? Which you can not even find any more.
