Dwarf Gourami

Dwarf Gourami (Trichogaster lalius), formerly known as Colisa lalia, are majestic looking freshwater fish native to the slow flowing rivers, ponds, rice fields and lakes of Southern Asia. However, now they can also be found in the USA, Singapore and Colombia.
 
Fish from this family are very popular due to their small size and ease of care. On average they live for about 5 years, but under good conditions can live even longer.
